"What is the meaning of life?" I've been asked this question more times than I can count, and it wasn't until recently that I started thinking about this subject from the perspective of objectivity. I suppose my position on this question will stir a little controversy among my peers, but I hope you'll first take the time to understand my argument before laying into me! I often catch a lot flack from other atheists, especially on my videos covering morality; therefore, I made every effort to present the argument as clearly as possible.
I repeat myself in several sections of the video because want to emphasize the argument and snuff out potential criticisms within the video itself, leaving no room for misinterpretation. However, there is always someone that manages to take me completely out of context. Even when initially debating this subject my opponent attempted to refute me by claiming, "Not all engines use spark plugs." As you can imagine, facepalms ensued. I hope everyone enjoys this different slant on the meaning of life and thanks a lot for listening to me wax philosophically! :)
P.S. It may seem as if I speak a little slowly at the beginning of the video. This is my second attempt at the voiceover and I may have overcompensated for the first time, in which I read way too fast. However, the video does pick up after a couple minutes.
