Existence, Religion, Meaning, Voids

To those who imbibe it is only one person's "standpoint".FMS

This encompasses the two above comments as I AM aware both parents and teachers these days have no qualms about engaging young minds with their drug addled insights.Two very heavily influencing types of role models, roughly 2/3 of their time spent with them, over the 20 year span of maturation.

"I think that at least part of it may come from the breakdown of the family unit. Back in the day, you learned a lot of your right from wrong, your core values, your manners, your integrity and even your work ethic from those around you. This included moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, cousins and even close friends we regarded as family. I don't think that it exists anymore or if it does it's not as highly regarded as it once was.
How can we address it? The sad part is - I don't know. How can one impose a sense a family - it's either there or it's not."

It goes beyond family. We get all of our worth from God and the further we stray from him the more worthless we become.

The Meaning of Life. All you need to know.

I guess it works for some, mostly Atheists.

Let's not forget "the influencers"
of the We movement that just got busted for embezzling and nepotism via PM Justin Trudeau.

Touting.

Sorry Chesney, no plantations in Canada, yet.

That's not true. Lots of people lead worthwhile lives without God. Besides, how does God make life worthwhile and meaningful? Most of what is spoken about God makes no sense at all.

God works for some and not others, that's all there is to it.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. NIV, Matthew 6:25-33

"Most of what is spoken about God makes no sense at all."

A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the things of God's Spirit, for they are nonsense to him. He can't understand them because they are spiritually evaluated.
1-Corinthians/2/14

"God works for some and not others, that's all there is to it."

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:1-6

Let he who wants to earn brownie points with the big chief spout forth from the Bible.
