i don't think we can answer "what is the meaning of life"...at least not in language. i think as soon as you ask that question, you're headed for a dead-end.

i think the 'so called meaning' can be experienced by an individual, but trying to communicate that experience will not adequetly answer the question.

if i were to give an answer to "what is the meaning of life"........it would be "to mean".

and back to to the thread's question:

i think that life is something greater than we can comprehend right now. hopefully when we die we move to the next level of 'being'. who says death has to be a bad thing. maybe we just associate death with bad, because right now we don't know what's coming next. maybe as we evolve we will have a greater understanding of 'what comes next'. and that's probably when we'll ALL realize that religion is just a social construction to keep 'life moving forward'. religion is not the answer, it's just part of the equation to find it.
