Well said, you make what you can from the limited time you have.
Making the 'most' of the time we have usually means living in a time of relative peace with abundances of necessities to continue a healthy life. People have needs ranging from food, shelter, clean water supplies, sex (except for Idol, obviously), companionship (except for Mary, obviously), and knowledge (except for the NZB-frequenters, obviously)... Medicine, transportation, communication, and stuff to do all play part in this 'meaningless' existence. Say what you will about god and the emptiness of the universe, how we live *does* make a difference. At the very least, finding ways to live in a manner that promotes healthy life for self, family, and even others *is* good. Evil amounts to things that promote destruction of society.

What part about living together in a society- and things/actions/events that are detrimental to society being 'evil' do you struggle with, Dion?
There is no boogeyman, there are murderers, thieves, corporations, warlords, and politicians.

Yes, if there is no God and no literature's of God's there will be a lot more evil
Re: If there is no God, is there such a thing as evil?
Quran (2:62): Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve
Re: If there is no God, is there such a thing as evil?
Evil is the absence of Good. Like darkness in the absence of Light.
