If all of the answers to life and death and the future are in a book what is the point of life?

Question

Is it just to see how long you can stay convinced? Why

Answer 1

hmmmm good point. its all written its alll done, cant we just fast foward this....

Answer 2

I would say that all the answers can be found in the Sermon On The Mount, which is a very tiny part of the book. But understanding is only the beginning of wisdom. We need the entirety of our life for that journey.

Answer 3

Three main purposes to life are:

1. Learn to have faith in Jesus Christ.
2. Gain a physical body of flesh and bone which will one day be perfected and no longer subjected to pain, illness, or death.
3. Create eternal family relationships that continue beyond the grave.

Answer 4

I sense a rhetorical question. How very clever you must be. In fact, people who believe in a religion usually do NOT subscribe to the idea that all the answers are in a book. The Bible, for instance, tells us what we need to know for this life, and it is our job to adhere to its teaching. It does not tell us how to create a shortcut to the next world, or, indeed, give us any detailed information on what that other world is.

Answer 5

Because life is about a process, not a simple statement written in a book..

Answer 6

My life is not centered around a hate filled, bigoted, and fictional book. Idiotic religious dogma does not limit my thinking or my ability to live.

Answer 7

You still have to grow up.

But if we were to remove the confusion caused by non-believers, common sense would eliminate the need for "answers" to most things.

Answer 8

To fulfill the content of the book you are speaking of.

Answer 9

It depends on if we're all on the same page or not....what book? ;)
