What makes you life worth living?
For me its
- having parties / doing something else with friends
- learning new interesting things (especially related to physics or - not so very often recently - how to program)
- surfing the net / playing computer
- my ex-girlfriend, we still like each other very much

Serving God and spreading the gospel to save souls.

For God.

Serving God and spreading the gospel to save souls.
Scar-ry

Mine is to experience life as much as possible, after all it is all we ever have.
Also, to make the world livable for the future. I'm going to try my hardest to make society sustainable and workable for the long term. As it stands irreversible damage will be done to this planet by 2050, I can't ignore that just because I will be dead before any significant effects occur.

Edit: spelling.. and

I find it pretty amazing that so many people still believe in religion and shit. At 5 I saw it for what it was and rejected it, but there are still people in this day and age who really believe all of it.
I dont think it's necessarily a bad thing, just quaint is all.

Hey Tluiko, I live for God, and having fun mainly. Aslo the never ending search for knowledge :p

I originally came here for the tacos. I was a being of pure light. Free to roam through space, time and thought untethered. THere were no questions, only answers. There was no sorrow, only joy. ...

...but there were no tacos. So I came here for some tacos. WHile I'm here, I am also finding interesting ways to amuse myself before I return to my pure energy form. I'm also getting my fill of tacos. :)

I live for God and for fun too! Also I live to try and make a difference to others lives. :D

Holy shit everyone's a crazy religious nutter. :(

I live for altruism and hedonism, in that order.

We are here to learn. From the most complicated theorums to the best way to get a person off during sex, all info is good. If you keep learning a little every day about something, which by the way is impossible NOT to do, then you are already working in conjunction with the big plan. Learn from mistakes, pleasures, tacos, blunders, or just by ossmosis. After ya accept that, then just have fun. That is part 2 of the big plan for everyone. This is what everyone is here for.
Personally, as emperor of my own lil existence i live for the following:
Good scenery
Great sex
Catchy music
Complete silence
All types of weather depending on my mood
Swimming
Log rides
Payday
The sense of pride I feel when one of my demon hellspawn children do well, laugh, or smile.
A good nights sleep
Getting a group of friends together (poker , tv, or night out, dosent matter)
The empowering feeling that ya get when you know you are gonna get laid, but still have time before....especially with someone new.
A good burp
Hot tubs
Learning something new that I can actually use
Anything that will make me laugh
A good movie in a nearly empty theater
Helping people ( ya I know its a bullshit answer... but it really is a good feeling..especially if theres no reward involved)
Tropical islands
Winning..at nearly anything
Ok, thats a good chunk of what I'm living for. Most everything else is the bonus plan.

Sagir, Emperor of Successoria

Here, drink this. It'l make you feel better.

Holy shit everyone's a crazy religious nutter.


Nah, we just don't presume that things could have originated without a cause :)

Nah, we just don't presume that things could have originated without a cause :)

But you do presume that a very specific God was the cause.

Crazy!

If it's fun, why would you call it crazy? I get much better and more satisfying results by living for God (and for my family) than I did before. Why is that "nuts"?

I'm certainly not making you do it. Or even trying to talk you into it. You have fun your way, and I'll have fun my way.

I live.....for myself. Everything else is secondary. For without the self, there cannot be action to translate to others.

Your fun is hurting you, and blinding you to the truth... open your eyes Neo!

Anyway, I met God once, he plays blues Guitar better than me.

It's not hurting me. You have a uniform conception of what Christians are. Which is a serious mistake.

You probably think I'm some sort of rule-bound idiot. And I most certainly am not.

I live for the future, when I will be able to dance on the graves of everyone who's pissed me off.


And for computer games.

God IS the truth!

And why do you assume that I thought you were a Christian?

I think everyone who believes in a codified God is either:

a - Immature

or

b - Crazy


Did you know that medically, believing in a codified religion ticks enough boxes to officially classify you as suffering from schizophrenic delusions?

Psychologists tend to keep kinda quiet about that fact...

Have, a, nice, day.

I live.....for myself. Everything else is secondary. For without the self, there cannot be action to translate to others. *shakes staff* Satanist!

Ummmm… I live for God and the furtherance of good.

God IS the truth!

And you claim to understand the truth of something that is supposedly beyond human comprehension.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

I live ... FOREVER. I'm 21.3 billion years old next week. Of course, all your silly young-Earth creationists will dispute this, but it sucks to be you.

Did you know that medically, believing in a codified religion ticks enough boxes to officially classify you as suffering from schizophrenic delusions?

Have, a, nice, day. We already knew that most of humanity is round the bend.

EDIT: "The foolishness of God ever confounds the wisdom of men."

He presented us with His truth in a manner that we could understand. I don't claim to have the omniscience that would be possible to know God, but I do know His word.

And I believe whoever would post something like this is just a. immature ;)

Nah I'm just bored, it tends to ammount to the same thing, but has a concealed sting in the tail.

And who told you that?

Just a man, not a God. A book, actually. A very good book, as it happens. But I like the phrase.

That's most of the people in the world. The definition of "normal" is what "most people" are doing.

If being schizophrenic is normal, then count me in. You, on the other hand, can continue to worship the television.

Gosh, is there the ever so slight possibility to get along without insulting other peoples beliefs? :rolleyes:
Besides, its the old classic for me: Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll

I live for the day people surfing the internet can refrain from belittling religion in general and just let threads like these exist without spiraling down into the same old "god vs. you're an idiot" bash-fests. :p

A book, actually. A very good book, as it happens. But I like the phrase.

That's the one where God kills all the Gay people isn't it?? I love that book!

And the bit where God has his propet Elijah kill 500 priests of Baal simply because they believe in another religion... Classic!

And Jesus... he's the best, even if he does have a Mexican name!

I especially love the bit where the character of Jesus does THE EXACT SAME MIRACLE with the loaves and fishes as the Prophet Elijah does 1000 pages before!

It's almost like Jesus does a greatest hits concert of all the other miracles of all the other dudes in the book (I forget what it's called, Bagel or something), he's so sweet!

Then he gets arrested by the Romans and sentanced to death by the Romans and the Romans make him walk up this hill to GolGothmog!

Then the Jews kill him, and that made me sad, but apparently we burned lots of Jews in the middle ages so that makes it okay I guess.

Then Jesus comes back to life! And in one bit it says he's not wounded, but in another bit it says a dude sticks his fingers right INSIDE HIS WOUNDS! That's just SICK dude!

Then he goes to heaven, probably because he was still bleeding or something.

Also, I read the sequel to the Bagel, in which this crazy arab Mohammad goes to heaven and meets Jesus and Moses and loads of other sweet guys from the first book! It's almost like ANOTHER GREATEST HITS BOOK!

OMG I LOVE GOD!

Me, and only me

That's most of the people in the world. The definition of "normal" is what "most people" are doing.

WL-dont waste your breath on some young fuck puppet. Ever notice most of them spouting faith in nothing- God, government, etc... They dont even have faith in themselves yet. Half your age, telling you you're wrong, and they still have mommy banging on the wall when they're in the shower too long. You cant get a point across to those people. They have to learn the hard way.

*shakes staff* Satanist!

Ummmm… I live for God and the furtherance of good.

Without the self, how do you live for others? Without acknowledgement that the self is neccessary, how can any action to be undertaken, be it for betterment or detriment of others?

If there is no self, there is no selfishness, no generosity, no good, no evil. Without the self, there is no "I", no "You".

And I generally have better things to do than waste time on meaningless rituals meant to somehow communicate or appease a faith based being.

We've dealt with this before, many many times....remember kids, only YOU can stop forum fires.

That's most of the people in the world. The definition of "normal" is what "most people" are doing.

If being schizophrenic is normal, then count me in. You, on the other hand, can continue to worship the television.

I don't watch much TV, except for Big Brother and Celebrity Love Island, also I watch old repeats of Only Fools and Horses, even if I've seen the episode five times already.

Sounds like someone's teacher was spurned by religion.

You dont have to believe in anything- I just dont care about your opinions.

You need to stop taking things so seriously dude, I mean, it's almost like you're not angry or something.

You know what crazy is? Crazy is majority rules. Take germs for example.
Uh-huh. Eighteenth century, no such thing, nada, nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person. Along comes this doctor, uh, Semmelweis, Semmelweis. Semmelweis comes along. He's trying to convince people, other doctors mainly, that's there's these teeny tiny invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do they call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, up to the 20th century, last week, as a matter of fact, before I got dragged into this hellhole. I go in to order a burger at this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. James, he picks it up, he wipes it off, he hands it to me like it's all OK. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is a plot made up so they could sell disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right?

I had a great RE teacher actually, he was really cool.

He was a Church of England priest, knew a lot about world religions, and used to say cool stuff like:

"Smoking cigarettes is tantamount to playing on the motorway, sooner or later you're going to get yourself killed"

Which is absolutely correct.

He also believed he was psychic however, which doesn't really help his credability in my eyes. :confused:

My Auntie Janet doesn't believe in Atoms. :p

I'm not angry in the slightest, man. Just patiently waiting for youngsters to grow up.

Shrug, I'm actually God, challenging your belief system so I can see whether you have enough faith to become one of my blessed choir in Heaven, keep going you're on the right course!


When God shrugs, the world floods.

Then he starts again with a new dynasty, because he got it wrong the first time.

I havent proclaimed what I believe in. I'm having a laugh at your righteous animosity toward people with faith. You can think what you like, but it exposes your stupidity when you mock what someone else believes. Especially considering your well collected ammunition. Have a bad experience with a man of the cloth?

Aw, you sillies, there's no need to bash each other!



And on topic, I live for the moment.

A bad experience with life maybe, but religious folk have tended to be some of the nicest people I've met in my experience. Crazy as fruitflies of course, but nice people.

Also, that's not well collected ammunition, it's just random stuff I happen to know as a result of a religious upbringing.

I have a few books on Christian apologetics that you might want to read, before getting into little spat about how God is "evil".

God isn't evil, he's nice, he plays blues guitar and is in love with a woman who lives in Jamaica.

People are evil. Every single one of them, they're all bugs and insects that should be stepped on by someone bigger.

Christian Upbringing - sheltered, and gives you a good background on Why The Monarchy Is A Good Thing.

What makes you life worth living?

- having parties / doing something else with friends
- learning new interesting things (especially related to physics or - not so very often recently - how to program)
- surfing the net / playing computer
- my ex-girlfriend, we still like each other very much Currently its venlafaxin for me...

Don't believe the truth.

To get kids. Lots

Don't believe the truth.
What?

What?

What?

To get kids. Lots

That's cool, just don't steal them.

What?
Could you explain the "Don't believe the Truth" bit?

Could you explain the "Don't believe the Truth" bit?

No I can't, I'm not smart enough yet.

That's the one where God kills all the Gay people isn't it?? I love that book! *snip* No, actually. It's about how the West went off on a jolly holiday to the East and slaughtered everyone in Jerusalem, starting a conflict which is still burning today, deeply scarring the image of the Church and so forth. Only gay people mentioned are the Templars, and they weren't actually gay, it was a slur cast by their enemies to discredit them in everyone's eyes.

Don't make assumptions sah!

Without the self, how do you live for others? Without acknowledgement that the self is neccessary, how can any action to be undertaken, be it for betterment or detriment of others?

If there is no self, there is no selfishness, no generosity, no good, no evil. Without the self, there is no "I", no "You".

And I generally have better things to do than waste time on meaningless rituals meant to somehow communicate or appease a faith based being. I had hoped that the shaking of the staff would subtly inform you of my lack of seriousness.

Keep the self alive to serve others. Simple.

No, actually.

Don't make assumptions sah!

Oddly enough, the Islamic world didn't really give two hoots about the Crusades until the 1900's, they just viewed them as yet another war of invasion in which Islam was the winner.

Since the growth of radical Islam and their antipathy towards the West, the Crusades have attained a kind of manufactured importance in the Arabic world which now seemingly justifies their hostility and suspicion towards the West.

So yeah, people are evil, and will invent justifications for their ideologies in order to fight each other.

I'm living for life.

all of it.

Why do we believe in germs?
'cause we can see'em in a microscope?
'cause we can messure their consecuences?
'cause we can modify'em genetically?
No, it's just 'cause we have blind fate in germs.

That's most of the people in the world. The definition of "normal" is what "most people" are doing.

If being schizophrenic is normal, then count me in. You, on the other hand, can continue to worship the television.

So you'd do what most people do. Interesting.
That explains everything.
Think for yourself, seek the truth.

The truth is out there
Free your mind
You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

Right now I'm living for the next day. You know, the one that is better than the last?

A day without fear.
A day filled with laughter.
A day without worries.
A day spend with friends.

A day to appreciate
the wonder of life.

Thank you, family.
Thank you, friends.
Thank Thee, Who makes me go on.

God and Music...thats it

I live for ME and MY interests...
for ME and just ME, for MY dreams...

dreams of a better world to live in...
dreams of freedom for all...
dreams of happiness and joy for everyone (specially children)...
I'm living for kids, for people, for those who need someone to care about...

Poor of those who live for a god that doesn't need them.

To make cash, loads of it!

What am I living for?

............About 65-70 years.

I used to live for something... I've since forgotten what that was.

for my God. and to introduce others to Him. and to have parties, eat tacos, play games, learn cool stuff about physics and chemistry, program (although i suck), play wicked games on my comp, and just hang with my friends and listen to awesome music, and play my guitar. and a certain girl...

To learn more. For my children and grandchildren. To help whomever I can in whatever way I can. And just out of curiosity and sheer cussedness! :D

Just to get out and do everything. I hope to travel the entire world and do everything at every country I visit.

To live a long and happy one in whatever I do and I wanna live for a wonderful woman and to spread God's word!

My virgin atheist eyes! >.<

Most people I know say they are religious and stuff, but don't actually believe any of it for a second. It's always so surprising when I see people on here so .. erm... not right in the head to actually get into all of it.

Loving God. Everything falls into place after that. Well, everything to sustain me in Him, that is. But that's good enough for me. :)

I live for God. Serving Him and His sheep. I live to follow the rules of God and then wait around for death because I would do nothing else except go to church and pray some more at home. :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5:
TEH D00RS!!! TEH D00RS!!!

*wonders why anyone would want to serve a sheep, as presumably if it belonged to a god then he/she/it would be eating it later, not you*

Y'know, it probably takes the same amount of craziness to believe scripture as it does to click on a link that says "What are you living for?".

Just a thought. ^_^

I live for the happiness of myself and others. I'f that's not a good enough reason for existing I don't know what is.

Live life for life, screw the rest life is about joy, sorrow pain, love, fear, ecstasy, passion, and drugs. What else could you want

Live life for life, screw the rest life is about joy, sorrow pain, love, fear, ecstasy, passion, and drugs. What else could you want

Sex

Why do I have to live FOR something???
I just live...

Today.

I live for a few things.

The look on people's faces when they realize an entire discussion they just had with me was intended to be sarcastic.

The feeling you get after a good long day of torturing and burning dissenters.

Those moments when I can properly enumerate to the world why I deserve £1 billion, my own private helicopter, a thousand robot slaves, and psychic powers.

That feeling that can only come from watching a poor n00b get modbombed.

But most of all, I live for myself. :D
