I mean, God created us as humans and he created the earth with everything needed to sustain human life. He created myriads and myriads of spirit creatures and the heavens for them. Why is it that so many seem not to appreciate the life God gave us and so badly want to escape to a heaven that we cannot really even imagine, because it is not for most of us to ever gain. Adam and Eve had a very good life and relationship with God before they ruined it and rebelled, and they lived as humans on this earth. We always want something that we can't have. Life in heaven is just not for humans...its for spirit creatures and the few thousand who have been bought from the earth for a specific purpose...to rule with Jesus for a thousand years.
The rest of us have life-everlasting as a hope, but that will be on earth...we are humans, we are living souls. Even the dead who will be resurrected will be resurrected to human life (except again, the 144,000 who will rule along with Jesus from heaven.

I believe that they have a thing called Reprobate Mind
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:28-32

I'll need some back-up for "I mean, God created us as humans and he created the earth with everything needed to sustain human life." if you want an answer for that.
I was not 'created' by god. There is no such thing as god, outside your imagination. I want to be the best person I can be, and that's what I'm trying to do, with the only limitation of my principles, the respect for others, and the legal system.
If you want to restrict your life to eighty or one hundred years of saying thank you to your imaginary creator, be my guest. I have MUCH MORE important things to do in MY life...

The short answer is, all of the christian faith comes from one book. The slightly longer answer is, I don't want to have to wait until I die to be happy. All christians seem to be concerned with is what happens in the "afterlife" - who's going up and who's going down. Why is that? Can't christians deal with the reality of life and just accept it for what it is? A totally random chance. Why look forward to being dead and therefore being happy? Why not make Earth a heavenly place?

Romans 9:19-21
19You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?" 20But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?" 21Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honored use and another for dishonorable use?
--Yes we should never question God on what he has done. For all things are HIS. And we were made for His Glory-

personally would prefer to send eternity here on Turtle Island in the period of time before the European " invaders " came over. but as you said we do not know what will happen when we leave this plane of existence for another. my dad always said he didn't fear death as there was a mystery and only when one left this plane of existence would the mystery be solved.

So, you sound like a cross between a jehovah's witness, and a spiritist? Do you contact these spirit creatures also?

Because not everyone knows what they were created to be, some people are still in search of their purpose in life.

I agree with
amiram a and eduarodi
If you want to be religious, be my guest, but what I hate the most is when people try to sound pure and saint while criticizing other people, specially on their beliefs...

people were not created, they evolved.
there is no god, neither is there heaven.
The Story of Adam and Eve is a myth.
we have evolved to want more, to change, to test our beliefs and discard these we find useless.
that's why we strive for more.
