just wondering...should there be a meaning to life at all...don't people just get born, live their life and then die...what's wrong with that, why make a bigger deal out of it, what benefits does that actually bring...

we are different than the other creatures around us. we have been honored by giving minds that we can use to think. we can use to explore. we can use to find our correct way.

I don't like any religion but Buddhism seems to show at least some common sense

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

And how much choice have you ever really had in what to believe in BM? Do you have a choice in your life to be anything but a muslim? What would happen if you decided to change your religion or become atheist? Have you ever had the chance to read On Origin of the Species? Have you ever had the chance to read The God Delusion? Have you ever had the chance to really form your own ideas and opinions or have they all come from your religious teaching/upbringing?
