What a sad, empty life people are living!



It is incredible to me that these societies of the West have become so self centered, so self absorbed, so... empty. Having it all, cars, houses, money, the best schools in the world, seemingly having it all, at the same time are so empty and everyone is in the same boat.

People go to these festivals and they applaud films that portray what everyone is going thru, but no one wonders if there is anything else in life.

These films portray people as if all they can do is live, die and that is it. In them they sell the idea that it is the norm to have an absolute existential vacuum. It seems as if life is devoided of meaning, of ultimate and greater purpose. Wow!

Indeed, this is a godless society, where there is not good, to bad, no wrong, no right... just relativism, convenience, survival of the fittest.

Where is purpose? Where is life after this one....?

Where is God?

It is sooooo sad!!

Where is God?


If you ask me, I'll say the world needs alot less "god". The more "godless societies" the better.

What a sad, empty thread. So sad, in fact, that OP had their piss and then turned their backside to any meaningful discussion.







messageboard rules are serious business. like really serious.

I think you've just explained why people try to give purpose to living by believing in a God. Personally, I think it is sad if you need such a purpose to give meaning to your life.

Whats your point?
Why does there need to be good or bad? Life is not black or white, you should find your own meaning.
What makes you think there has to be life after this one, isn't that the most self centered idea that one could possible have?

Maybe you would be happier if you only watched Christian films from now on. You sound like my dad. If you are my dad, get off the internet, Dad!

You should watch Clash of the Titans, there are shedloads of gods in that.

Have fun!

The movie's not empty at all. There's quite a bit of love in the movie.

Oliver loves his parents & they love each other, but his parents need to rediscover themselves.

Jordana is afraid to love because of her mother's cancer, but when she really becomes ready for it, Oliver is too caught up in trying to fix his parents' problems that he ignores her and crushes her & himself in the process.


And God is love, so any movie with love in it has God in it, whether religion is mentioned or not.
