...
Chistianity isn't the largest religion. Far from it. There are probably about three million more muslims.
There are two theories about the importance of life. One, was the classical theoem, that basically says that as long as you are human, you are sacred. It doesn't matter what you do with your life, you're sacred. Put that into practice, and I'm just as important as the idiot, George Bush. This theory was developed but the catholic church.
The modern theory is that what you do with your life that determines your worth. This hasn't taken off, as it is generally unfair and promotes racism.
Although this has little to do with the meaning of life directly, I though it would be worth while to add my little of philosophical knowledge to this discussion.

That's because the Catholic Church believes in the Classical theorm.

... Well, from all over. It's fairly obvious. I THINK it's muslims. Because they're all in china, India etc. Christianity is NOT the largest religion. It is in our society, but not on the globe. If it makes you feel better, I read it in a text book, so there.

I agree that everyone is equal no matter what they do with their lives. Each person has a their own purpose in life though some people may acquire more recognition than others. I must sound so weird for saying things like this though.

Life is hard. The quote 'Life's a *beep* and then you die,' used to be my philosophy on life before I had any real connection with God.

Of COURSE life is hard. It wouldn't be worth living if it wasn't. Atleast, not in my opinion.

*BOING* Well, without life being hard, you couldn't prove yourself to God that well, could you?

life.. if you have a religion, then life is pretty simple. **you live to achieve the goal of enternal life** but if you dont have a religion.. what's the point of living if nothing exists after death?

I think that way when I'm depressed. It's depressing.
