“Belief in heaven and hell is a big deal in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and some forms of doctrinaire Buddhism. For the rest of us it's simply meaningless.

“I think, on both sides of the camera or the novel: Distraction. I'm obsessed with: Can I get this actress or my third act to work? I'm distracted. I'm interested in that so I don't sit home and think, "Gee, life is meaningless. We're all going to die. The universe is pulling apart at breakneck speed."” ThinkingHomeLife IsDiesUniverseSidesNovelThirdsCamerasSpeedActressesObsessedDistractionMeaninglessPullingBoth SidesDistracted Author:Woody Allen
“The absurdist is concerned with the search for meaning in the Universe. He believes this search to be meaningless--hence the disintegration of plot, character, and language in absurdist drama. Order is a falsehood that we, God, those who came before us, have imposed on a random universe. However, the absurdist is confronted with a curious paradox: though he believes the Universe to be meaningless, he cannot abandon the search for meaning--or he will die.” BelieveCharacterOrderDiesUniverseLanguageDramaConcernedCuriousPlotAbandonParadoxMeaninglessFalsehoodSearch For MeaningDisintegrationThose Who Came Before Us Author:Walter Wykes
“There is no Christian Gospel if history simply unwinds into a meaningless puddle, if the cosmos simply escapes into a cataclysmic black hole, or if the universe finally dies of exhausted energy. Without belief in a biblical eschatology, there is no Christian hope. Without a sense of perfect moral judgment in the end, the human heart is homeless.” IfsHumansHeartEndsChristianDiesUniverseBeliefEnergyBlackPerfectMoralJudgmentHolesCosmosMeaninglessBiblicalHomelessExhaustedHuman HeartBlack HolePuddlesUnwindChristian HopeMoral JudgmentEschatology Author:Albert Mohler
