[QUOTE="S|kH, post: 62606, member: 217"] First and foremost, I want to say thanks for your brilliant post. It is definitely well put together and engages in intellectual discussion rather than emotional flaring. I'd love to see more users post as coherently and stay on topic as you do. And, time to discuss the points you brought up : Hehe, I am aware of what an agnostic is. Of course I am agnostic, I think most of the world is, even the people who claim to be religious or part of a religion. Everyone is agnostic to some extent. I claim to be an atheist because on a discussion forum, agnostic is a "soft term". It usually implies one does not know the answer, nor wishes to find the answer, is just too lazy. That's how we always used it growing up. Hence, why I usually take the term of Atheist on. Isn't that what a purpose in life is? I'm not pointing out things that need to be changed, I'm pointing out things I WANT to change in my life-time. That is my purpose of life, it is to change these things which effect humanity drastically in the present. Perhaps, I don't fully understand your question, but I was not simply listing issues with the world, but things I wish to fulfill and fix, hence, my life has purpose. Your right in that Mother Teresa was an outstanding human being, but I don't see how the comparison to the others you've listed holds up. I feel as if your trying to compare apples to oranges, and because you prefer oranges, you feel they are more of a role model and hold them to higher esteem. Bill Gates, Oprah, and Mother Teresa have accomplished deeds far greater than most humans will ever. They did things in very different societies, sects, and different mechanisms of helping, I don't think you can directly compare the two and say "oh, she is better". Your coming from a religious background, so obviously it makes logical sense as to why you would hold Mother Teresa to higher value than the others. I treat them equally and can not compare them, they bring different resources to the same goal. Random tangent, but its like when people compare genocides and killings, as if one method of death or type of people is calculated to be worth more than another type. Who knows? I feel its fruitless to compare them. I don't understand this question lol. Why can't I just go to a homeless shelter and help feed the hungry, while NOT doing simran? What does having to do simran or being religious have to do with it? Really? Depression is a brain exercise. If your close to your family, and your father dies, you get depressed. Religious or not. You learn to live life without, religious or not. You learn to let go, but hold onto his memories and what he taught you, religious or not.
