Interesting, I like it since it holds a personal meaning. I grew up in a Catholic home, but I personally consider myself as agnostic. I think that there isn't enough empirical evidence to support the existence of a higher being(s), but at the same time, there is so much in our universe that we don't know about, how can we possibly understand what we can't comprehend? I can't know whether an omnipresent being exists, nothing proves or disproves it. So anything is possible really. I take the stance as having an internal locus of control, meaning my choices are those of my own, but events that affect us ripple throughout our connections we have with others, like the butterfly effect (as chaos theory mathematically states). So hope to me is only a basis of actions, or means, and whether they come to a definite end or not is really something we can't predict on a macrocosm level (this can even be argued that there is no such thing as free will, but that's a different topic on a different day). Now whether we live in a deterministic setting of life I cannot say. Everyone has the right to believe in what they will. I just try to be more rational about religion, but who knows what exists beyond. The motives of a supernatural being, cognizant or not, may or may not be very different from ours. I'll stop myself and say that this is really my thoughts of theism condensed, because I will go on for hours and it will bore the hell out of people lol.

So as far as that goes, I shrug my shoulders in irresolute. I don't believe in life having meaning, but that doesn't mean that life is blatantly fatalistic if there were no meaning. It just means to me that you should do the best you can within reasonable means in this life. This post is a little longer than I anticipated, but it was something I needed to let out, even if it was just a little bit. I really like this e-card, it made me reflect on my own insecurities and faith.
