Re: Learning To Think Spiritually
These debates about purpose and the meaning of life are inevitably circular because they completely depend on adopting a particular world view. If you believe in a Creator, then of course the purpose and meaning of life is the Creator's purpose and meaning. If you don't believe in a Creator then there is a sense in which life (speaking generally) has no purpose, or at least no intentionality, but it does have a history and a continuity which is worth understanding. Life in particular, my life for example, does have intentionality and direction and that is purpose (and responsibility) in a very real sense.
You are making a judgment that a life created by and for the purpose of another (albeit higher) intelligence has more value. That's your judgment and if it gives you comfort then great, but you can't offer the comfort that comes from belief in a Creator as an argument for the existence of one.

I don't believe that HG was ever trying to offer this logical conclusion as an argument for the existence of a creator. In fact, I believe she said as much...

whatever happened to HG's website?
I loved that site, and wish it would come back online. Thankfully at least this article from the site has been persevered here on t-web, except for the images.

Teluog, she told me that she is too busy with the demands of family life to maintain it. I'm sad too.

Here's the link to the entire website:

This is for anyone who doubts or disbelieves but is earnestly seeking the truth. This won't help a scoffer one bit.Remember you were once an enemy of God yourself (just like me, everyone else and even the dishonest trolls as well) and He chose to love you despite that fact.
