Humanists suggest that life is meaningless, yet we are to find our own meaning.
Albert Camus said that life is absurd. Given the fact that life according to him is purposeless, he could not explain why we do not commit suicide.
The humanist might want to suggest that we do not do this because of selfish interests and that we only try to benefit from earth. However they cannot back their claim. They only assume it.
People can go around all day claiming that we should do what we want and that humans are selfish profiteers. However, everyday life testifies to the fact that we cannot just do what we want. We have duties to our boss, family members, neighbors, the government etc.
We would extend this fact to point our viewers to the fact that they have duties towards their Creator and through its creation God confronts us with this fact.
What than is the meaning of life and what is our purpose?
It starts with Acts 17. God desires us to seek for Him. God has a restoration plan for this life, which is called the gospel of the Kingdom of God.
