Why does life need to have a meaning? I have no problem accepting that we're all here through the randomness of chaos.

When people think you're a pedophile, then perhaps it's time to stop and take stock of what it is you want out of life.

So basically whenever you're a single male that happens to be walking by a park full of overprotective parent?

Well, apparently he was so wasted that he unknowingly spray painted some sexually suggestive things near a school (possibly two if my memory serves me correctly), which is a bit different from minding your own business and trying not to make eye contact with eight-year-olds out of paranoia.

But you've obviously thought about the subject, and have a better understanding of yourself for it. I don't care whether someone has faith that life is controlled by a God, or faith that life doesn't have any higher meaning beyond that which we endow it with, I just think that the act of examining life in itself is an important journey that every person should make; even if that journey might take us all towards different destinations, those destinations are really all the same, just with different names on the "welcome" signs.

Edit: So, basically, I don't care what you have faith in, just HAVE FAITH IN SOMETHIIIIING!
