Ouch, consider me burned...

That depends on how big your ears are... 😉

I can't imagine the mindset of someone who would want that poisoned challis...

Just because religion can be used and taught wrongly, doesn't mean the philosophy is wrong, false or lies; when, for example, is it wrong to forgive, be nice or help our fellow human's? Indeed... If you understand the wisdom, you can teach others the meaning of it, whatever size (be it small, medium or large); if you don't understand the wisdom, you'll only confuse them, and yourself...

Of course it's subjective, which means the only debate that's open, is with yourself... If you're content with your meaning, you're a lucky dog... 😇 😉

We should consider the criminal as a victim, if we want a rattle free, well balanced, drive shaft...

Balance depends on the weight of your bias... 🤔

I was thinking about a logical rule of when to lie; fiction is what we tell ourselves, a lie is what we tell other's for validation of our fiction... my point is, logic does not and can't understand emotional intelligence and that's rational, given our humanity... But you surely need a rule, to express yourself effectively; don't you?

Is there a logical rule for lies?

You seem very confused about what actually exists and when; all you can know, with any degree of certainty, is what's happening now, to you; for instance, if you're alive in 97 year's, you can confirm the transit of Venus (unless it gets hit by a Tesla and, in 96 year's, it crashed into the sun)...

Indeed, how would we know? I can't immagine a question that would not result in a stereotype; imagine if you were an AI and had to convince people that you were deserving of, not being switched off...

Interesting that you dismiss the role of religion in the meaning of life; given your copy-n-paste/quote... Don't make me break out "the parable of the madman"... 🤔 The thing he missed is, a dog doesn't choose it's meaning, it just accepted the meaning given in the place it find's itself; lucky dawg...

I can't be bother to read his post (no disrespect, it's irrelevant), I have explained in the post's above... Yes: Just because you can't find meaning, that doesn't mean no meaning exists; if you want to find your own meaning, pay attention to "all" of your teacher's (including the nihilist) and when you understand their understanding, you can decide for yourself what is meaningful; which circles back to the subjective nature of the question/s in the OP, and why they're essentially the same question and why you need to think about what you want answered. I just don't agree with your nihilistic approach to life... 😉

No, why would it? If that's what mistermack wrote, then you're both wrong... If you find peace in the twittering of a religion, how are they false or lies, and how is that not a meaning in life? BTW Twitter is a false religion, in case you were wondering...

How do you know? Is life for a partially sighted person any less real than a person with 20-20 vision? If so, how? FTFY Also, how is this relevant to the topic?

Ironic, isn't it???

You didn't read this did you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle If you don't ask the right question, you'll never understand the answer...

If make your cake with talc instead of flour you'll end up with a lump of rock, what meaning does that have? Read this before you answer.

If you make a cake, it only has meaning if you can eat it...

This word salad just demonstrates your confusion, you may as well argue that the universe has intent, and since this isn't in the religious section, we can dismiss God out of hand; unless we trace back any meaning to "me"...

Then you need to ask better question's and think about what you, "really", want to say.

I've never been able to smell how much I stink, and I don't wash...

It's actually the same question, philosophically speaking, what is the purpose of me? The answer to which is, learn from your teachers and then decide for yourself.

My car can do that... 😉

If you're sensitive to other people, perhaps you'll detect the benefits of a deity to them (God is made by people for people); God doesn't have to make a rock to achieve that.
