Allow me to share my two cents on the subject mon amie! > As a Christian, to me life is about knowing God. Religious definitions of God do not hold water to the trained mind in my view. The idea that God cannot be comprehended by lesser beings is reasonable though. Does God exist? The only answer that makes sense comes from Goethe's magnum opus: MARGARET: Do you believe in God? FAUST: who dares to confess: ‘I believe in him’? Yet who, in feeling, Self-revealing, Says: ‘I don’t believe’? How can a person find meaning? I don't think anyone can find meaning. Everyone can give meaning though and that is divine. I like philosophy because enables a person to choose who this person wants to be. If being a Christian has meaning for you, by all means do it! Be the best Christian you can be! I've came across a talk by Roberto Saviano, the other day. He said something that stuck with me because it was the second time I came across that quote: "Be kind. Random, daily actions of kindness is the most terrifying form resistance!". Socrates, the father of modern philosophy and for many the father of science, believed[1] that a person has an obligation to become the best version of himself. It's an interesting narrative. [1] We don't really know what Socrates believed, all we know about him is through Plato. I don't find that important at this point in history, but being pedantic on this website is a virtue ;-)
