In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and the earth was with out form and void

Answer 1

Answer 2

Dude. I'm an atheist and even I know the Bible has the answer to that.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

And I would add that you should look into the charities, the service organizations, the political groups which are trying to make these better and get off your butt and become part of the solution. Because you're focus is all wrong, and if you don't change it you'll be miserable at best, suicidal at worst. And see a doctor about depression. If this is your thought life all the time it's possible it's neurochemcial and there is no reason to feel that way when you don't have to.

Answer 3

I'm glad you asked. Firstly, most of the killing being done in the world today is between religious people, often involving religious fanatics. If people accept that there's no God or Heaven then many of the differences between people will be removed and the world will only become more harmonious as a result.
Secondly, it may seem a little pointless to live when you're just going to end up dead and rotting in a hole, especially to those who have been made to believe in heaven. You've had your hopes built up and it's only natural to view the less magical reality as something depressing or frightening. But living for sixty or seventy years is a lot better than nothing.
As for the use of living in this wicked world, well it's the only one we've got. And there's no reason for it to be wicked just because there's no God. Even without God there is one power which everyone can recognise as being greater than any individual, and that's society. It is everyone's responsibility to act in the best interests of their society and mankind as a whole, not for any reward in the afterlife, but to make this life the best it can be.

The Dali Lama says living for goodness is it's own reward. Our current Christian beliefs date to the middle ages when people were told, by the church and royals, to put up with oppression to recieve their reward in the next life. While the church and royals lived in opulence. The same argumeny was used to support slavery. If their is a god he is hanging his head in shame at the things being done in his name. Some people have a sense of right and wrong while others don't. Some people require a moral crutch to make them do good things. Others don't. I believe many of the things attributed to god really come from within us.

Answer 5

That is why faith is so important. Everyone is going to die someday, and what happens after death is an unproven theory, no matter what you believe. People are only afraid of death because they fear the unknown, that is human nature. Most people who are afraid of the dark are afraid simply because they cannot see what is there in the dark. I personally am not afraid of death knowing full well that one of two things will happen. I will either cease to exist or go on in another form. My faith lets me believe that I will go on in another form. Quiet you mind through meditation and prayer and listen, the great teacher will give you the answers you need. Peace is the test of the validity of these answers.

Answer 6

I believe that one of the main points to living life is to find out in the end whether there truly is a heaven and a hell and a God that controls the universe. The truth cannot be found, you see. It must be understood and created.

Answer 7

Well if there is a God and a Heaven, why would the world be wicked and full of haters where man is killing man and animal killing animal for survival??? I mean if there is an all-knowing and all-powerfull and all-present and all-loving God "he" or "her" or "it" or whatever would've made it so that animals wouldn't have to kill each other for food and the same goes for the human specie.

Answer 8

Quite right, then life becomes a meaningless cycle of trying to get things to make you happy only to inevitably forfeit not only everything you earned but your very life as well! Solomon was a man that was granted one of the richest kingdoms ever and wanted for nothing, yet he wrote this......

10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my work,
and this was the reward for all my labor.

11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun -Ecclesiastes 2:10

Answer 9

oh wow, uhm, life? having children? I don't know maybe a million and one other things but I don't believe in god or an afterlife of any kind and I love this life, I am very thankful for it, and I want to have kids one day even though I think it might not happen at times I still want to live anyways

Answer 10

So you would live a good life and try to better the world for the sake of your own soul, but not for the sake of everyone else on the planet?
Our world has its problems, and they're major, but you can't ignore its worthwhile qualities. If you have any concern for your fellow man at all, you love the world as best you can, and dedicate your life to making a positive impact. As transient and possibly pointless as our lives may be, they're all we have. If we ever want to see heaven, we're going to have to create it among us.

Answer 11

The purpose of living in the world is whatever you make it. God and heaven are just human inventions borne of fear and ignorance. The world is the way the world is, regardless of how many fairy tales people make up to try and pretend it is otherwise.
Facing reality may not be easy, but it's better than copping out in a fantasy world of delusion.
