| | | i read the dark materials series
it made me question god a little
but i think that when you die it's not a good thing anyway
so i'm 2/3 atheist and1/3 christian
but yeah i sorta just think you live an accursed life in a dark gloomy place until the world dies
then we'll do nothing instead of hoping we never died
which leads me to question life....

| | | If you ever find yourself questioning the purpose of life, remind yourself of apple pie. That alone makes life worth living.

| | | Precisely. Comfort is what you make it. Some people look to God for comfort, some people indulge themselves in material possessions or sensory pleasures like food, music and art. You just have to find a system by which you can feel good.

| | | There are three scientific secrets of life:
1. Cellular Respiration
2. Photosynthesis
3. Reproduction
The purpose of life is to contribute to the survival of the human race, as is any other animal's purpose it to preserve it's own species.
The Biblical purpose of life is to love, serve, and honor God with all your heart and to seek him above all else. Your undying desire to know him better will bring you closer to him and earn you a place in the eternal kingdom. |

If you don't love me, serve me and honor me, you shall burn in hell! It's like a dictator... How would you like if I told you, if you don't love me, serve me and honor me, I'll make you suffer? |

Well again these are my views and the religion I follow, I'm not expecting everyone to believe in it...

| God says that he is a jealous God, wanting to be the focus of your life. It does sound selfish of him to say that; but if you created the universe, you would probably want nothing less either. However, God does not force you to follow him. He gives you a choice: follow your own desires, or follow his word. This is what I know of my God and Savior. I'm not saying this is right or wrong, it is simply my understanding. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
