What is the point of being alive. Don't you think being alive is pointless. Why are we wasting time going to school and work when we can experience the afterlife?

Why are we alive, when we are going to the afterlife anyway, I hate being alive. I feel like it is waste of time. and I just want to see what the afterlife is like. I want to be judged by God, so I can get into heaven. What is the point of being alive, when you can experience the afterlife right now.

Why are we staying alive to live another day?

Killing oneself only takes them to hell not heaven.

Believe me, I know this life can be unbearable. I think that we are all here as a learning experience for God. We each have a certain role to play, people to deal with, and lessons to learn. We have to experience the negativity of life here on earth in order to perfect our soul. If we had it easy all the time, what would we really learn from it? Don't you agree that we learn the most from hard knocks? Read some of Sylvia Browne's books. She's a famous psychic, and a Gnostic Christian. She say's that people who commit suicide don't make it to the other side because they didn't finish their tasks here. She says that they just come right back (reincarnate) into the same situations that they tried to escape from. You have to go through your life, the best way that you can.

In the book of Job , chapter 1 and 2 in your bible;explains why we go through so much pain and suffering.There is a big issuse greater than us.read it !!
Satan challenged Gods right to rule over us.Even though he is our universal sovereignty ( our creator).
Also in Genesis,Chap.3- Satan challenged his right to rule,saying as if, God does not know what is best for us.so to prove a point to us and Satan,all the other angels that were on lookers.God is letting us see we need him.Look at all the problems we all have cause for ourselves.But he gives us help

Sorry to disappoint you, but, you won't get too much of a religious answer from me.

It takes guts to live. Killing yourself or letting yourself die is running away. Running away from your problems. Your friends. Your family. Yourself.

You have to live another day. You must keep going, keep learning, keep experiencing.

You believe in God. Did you know God doesn't let people into Heaven who commit suicide? Besides, if you die now, he won't have much to judge you on.

Death is cowardly. You have to fight to the end for yourself, and for others. Death is not a joke or a laughing matter. When you die, so does part of everybody else you have ever talked to in any form.

Hold onto the thought you mean so much, and cherish it.

You only live this life once. Don't end it when so many wonderful things can still happen.

no one can really answer this question but i will give my idea. I think we are here to learn ....learn to be as one unit...to love a stranger like a brother or sister....i believe in what comes around goes around because if you treat someone bad you will pay even if its in your next life. I don't think there is a straight shot to heaven or hell...i think their are many baby steps to knowing and understanding....to know you must live to learn

i am deeply troubled by your writing because thats exactly what the selfish depressed and misinformed terrorists think. Is it far fetched to say that the point of life is to live. The bible is just a theory and a poor one at that open your eyes you foolish and ignorant child.

I am living for Jesus, while i am living. Praise God in my after life, I will live with Him, in Heaven for all eternity.
