A quickie today. In the Atheist Experience, Russell and Jeff dissect the Argument from Game Design, as proposed on a forum of Christian gamers. It does something like this:
If you design a computer game, the only objective purpose/meaning to the game is the one that you designed it for
In general, the only valid purpose/meaning to an object is the one for which it was designed
THEREFORE this atheist talk about finding your own purpose in life is bull. If there is a God, the only “real” purpose to life is the one He designed it for.
This is a rarity — an actually new theistic argument. The hosts listed many arguments against this but I agree with it wholeheartedly. Of course the only real purpose for something is the one it was designed for! I mean…
- The real purpose for the internet is for to mark which day Jesus was resurrected on
- The real purpose for an office paper cutter is to chop off heads
- The main purpose for modern publishing and book distribution is to hosts
And so forth. If you have any others, suggest away in the comments!
