I, for one cannot believe that we were put here just to suffer and spend our whole lives trying to convince someone of something that no one will know of for sure, while they are alive, and will know for sure after they die?

I have no idea why we are here, and I'm not going to spend my few years here on earth trying to figure out something that I probably wouldn't understand anyway.

So, on the one hand your concept of why we are here is sufficient for you to reject a Biblical notion of G-d. Then, you have no idea why we are here. If you are going to let the question impact your life so thoroughly, don't you think you owe it to yourself to investigate the question a little? Or, if it really isn't worth investigating, don't you think you should not allow it to have such a great impact on your thinking?

What you have done is avoided a discussion of whether your conception, as originally posted, is at all accurate. I will ask again. Have the courage to answer. Why do you think we are here?

Shalom.

Boy, you attracted all the usual moths to the Eternal Flame with this thread, ArGee. I'm sorry I didn't follow it more closely. Hope those moths are consumed by the Flame and not repelled by it. To those who fail to understand it, such a Flame seems a mystery. They'll even deny its existence while obviously attracted to it (note the number of posts on this thread.) I've proven elsewhere that my lack of patience with such moths is counterproductive to the wishes of the Eternal Flame, so I'm just going to watch the moths dance in the shadows.

Shalom,

I really do not have any idea why we are here, and don't really care because even if I did, everything would still be the same.
This question doesn't really impact me very much. I just want to find out about people and what makes them believe what they believe. In order to do this, I have to ask questions and make replies.
I think the main reason why Christians do not understand non-Christians is because Christians just can't accept the fact that we humans are not really very important, and that we just are born, live, die, and then????? I believe it's frightening to a lot of people to not know what will happen after death, and not very flattering to think that we aren't very important when you look at the big picture.
