A person cannot deny the Lord and still live successfully. Mankind was created to acknowledge God and share a relationship with Him. When someone chooses to ignore the truth of His existence or His sovereignty, he or she begins a downward slide. It's a choice which ends with a hardened heart and eternal separation from a loving Father.
God gives everyone the capacity to understand Him and the free will to choose whether to pursue that knowledge. The truth of His existence is revealed in nature and written into every person's conscience. However, many people ignore reality because it interferes with their preferred lifestyle. Instead, they chase false philosophies, which are usually mixed with just enough truth to make them believable to the inexperienced.
Any "truth" crafted by man is foolishness. A mind that has rejected the fact of a sovereign Lord cannot see its error. It has slipped from intelligence--an inherent knowledge of God--to willful ignorance. In this state, even when all evidence points to the truth, a person can still convince him- or herself that the opposite is right.
All the denial and atheistic arguments in the world will not change what is real. Jehovah is God. Jesus Christ is His Son. God created you to love, obey, and honor Him. If you resist the truth, you choose a life of darkness and willful ignorance. The choice is yours to make.
God invites you to see if He is better than all that the world has to offer. Psalm 34:8 challenges us to "taste and see that the Lord is good." Will you taste and see?

We are not sent. A person comes here because a man and a woman had wanted (or had not wanted) him/her to be here. If wanted, the arrival pleases the parents and other family members. We are here to do some work, 'to make a mark', to quote an Indian saint.

To learn. Here's the analogy I always use. Say you've read every book on baseball, you've studied it, you've memorized everything about it. Does this mean you can play? Does this mean you know what it feels like to hit the winning homerun or how it feels to give up the winning homerun? I think everything we can witness and learn on the other side is the same way. We can study it, but we won't ever know until we come here to try it, or to deal with it. You can come here to learn how to deal with loss, or how it feels to win the lottery. You could be here to experience cancer, or maybe here to direct others towards the right direction. Whatever it is, we're all here to learn.

To serve God. To tell everyone about him and his son Jesus Christ. He made us in his own image. This earth was once very beautiful but we have ruined it and a lot of it has to do with science. Nuclear Plants smog the air, They polute streams. People just throw their trash everywhere. But one day it will be clean again.

God was lonesome up there. He created humans so he would have someone to have friendship with--someone with free will. Man destroyed that friendship by becoming evil, as anyone can look around at the world and see. Jesus came to forgive man and restore his friendship with God.

1. We are not sent. We are simply born.
2. There is no 'why'. Life simply is. If you look for a 'why', you will be dissapointed and waste a lot of time.

You weren't sent to this world, you evolved on this world. Big difference.

no doubt it's punishment -- at least to some degree; think of the varying degrees of luck people have -- born into a poverty-stricken home in Bangladesh, to born the child of Bill Gates -- what a difference; the world sucks thanks to lousy people -- it's gotta be punishment
