As an Atheist, I am often puzzled by the theist view that the Meaning of Life comes only from God. It seems very narrow, bleak, and heavy handed.

Do you find value in discussion of the Meaning of Life?
What do you think the meaning is?
What value do you think knowing the Meaning of Life brings?

    Well, the question that lead to the meaning of life is ‘what is six times seven’ so probably not the asterisk thing.

      You misremember it. The scrabble tiles spelled it as “six by nine”. That’s the joke.

        It has been a couple decades since I read it, but the underlying joke that it is just a math equation is the same. Being the wrong equation (6 x 9 = 54) is even funnier though.
