I believe Steve Wilkens statement, “For Rand, life encompasses physical survival as well as social, economic and political interest. However, Christian ethics requires a broader definition of life, one that includes a spiritual dimension.” means, for Rand, life only exist and is meant to exist for this physical earth. There is no higher authority to which man answers to or lives by. We are simply here to exist and stay alive for our own interest. At the time of death, it is just simply the ceasing of our existence. There is no existence outside of death therefore, there is no higher power to answer to. I believe that is why Rand is so convicted that we must live for ourselves and carry out our own interest above all others. Christian life
... There is no joy, no choice, and no individuality. If those qualities are not present in life, then what is the purpose of living? In the council’s opinion the purpose of life and living is to provide for all of man (meaning to just work day in and day out) and not for oneself. If my life had no purpose, no individuality, and no happiness, I would not want to live.
Davis was vague in his writing, only discussing the options. Russell’s submission was completely inaccurate due to the fact that his opinions does not align itself with the Word of God. I found it quite challenging to follow Geach’s perspective that the only possibility for life after death is found in the hope of a resurrection to come which presents the most for life after death argument.
The Apostle Paul rights about the conviction of the heart (Romans 2:15), when as Christians our perception of right and wrong is only justified by a common morality of other Christian believers. How instead we should live is in our justification of our savior, giving to him our body, sprite and mind and all he asks of it. By using the meaning of our life and our talents to influence those with the naturalistic and pantheism beliefs, shows our God is the creator and alive (Hebrews 11:32-40).
When one lives in his body, he experiences fate. The spirit is forever free. When one live in the spirit, he experiences through and through freedom. “Our life as it is now is created by the results of

The measure of one's life is in his or her deeds. The life of Whittier Crocket Witherspoon has been remarkable in its scope of accomplishment and influence. He's been an educator, a school principal and teacher and a political leader who's met with presidents and the political elite of our country.
“You will be with me today in paradise,” Jesus Christ told this to the thief on the cross while they were dying. However, can people believe that there is truly life after death? In many different religions there are different perceptions of life after death. For example in the Buddhist religion, the Buddhist people believe that life is practice for death. Professor Brown, of California State University of Northridge stated, “The Buddhist people cultivate positive, happy virtuous states of mind and abandoning non-virtuous, harmful, suffering states of mind.” This teaching is mirrored by Christianity teachings as well. Professor Brown also stated, “Death is an opportunity for great spiritual achievement if one is prepared and remembers one’s spiritual practices and beliefs and understandings during the death process.”
In order to have a life lived with moral and meaningful purpose, it is not a condition to live life with faith. To say one’s life is a life lived to faith involves three things. It involves the resignation of free choice in the sense that you believe that your god is the master of your universe. It also requires a belief and hope of an eternal life that is completely controlled by ones God. And finally, it requires the believer to accept the role of the child of God. These mandates outline a life of faith; which ultimately leads to an existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

What is life for? Different religions have different takes on life. There are many ways to view life. The way life is viewed by an individual is the way his morals are set. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and many other religions believe that a higher god sets morals and with the morals comes reward. Another camp, the existentialist, believes that life is absurd and meaningless. The existentialists believe humans live and humans die. They state that death is just a matter of time for everyone, a reality that is inescapable. In the novel The Stranger by Albert Camus, Meursault realizes that death is a subject that cannot be erased. Meursault comes to the conclusion that death is the end result for every human's life.
I have loved puzzles for as long as I can remember. There have been many spring breaks at my grandparents figuring out how every pile fits together, first by separating pieces into piles, such as distinguishing the sky from the ground. There is something fascinating about how all the little pieces end up creating a greater picture. This is relatable to my worldview. By separating views into different pieces of my puzzle, the end results in a large picture of how I want to go through life. The pieces of my worldview sometimes overlap, similar to an ocean and the horizon meet, where it can be hard to distinguish one without the other. Even if the pieces don’t always connect, like the sun and a pink beach bucket, the larger idea is how they are incorporated to make the one final picture. The piles that I separate my life view into are how I want to live, how big my world is, and how can I serve others. Also, how faith fits into my puzzle as well as science, and finally why it is worth making my life puzzle.

How do you birthduring your life even after you are brought into this world? The human condition is defined as the the characteristics which compose the essentials of the human existence. The six aspects of the human condition (birth, growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict, mortality) are characteristics that people in this world feel that you need to be a moral human being. Most people aren’t aware that they’re living the human condition, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t using these characteristics during their lifetime. Throughout various texts aspiration, conflict and birth seem to be the popular characteristics used in their pieces. Aspiration is seen as a hope or desire of achieving something. Conflict is seen as a prolonged struggle and birth is seen not as coming into the world in this case but as achieving something new or starting a new chapter in your life. How do these texts relate to the human condition?
