Bottom line is... Without 'faith' there is no 'hope' -

I have faith in a Creator, His Son, and the hope of a

Why does 'life' have to be infinite to have meaning?


Not to all evidently, but for some of us, it does...


That is what I never understood.

Some things are not 'understandable'. They are accepted on faith. Like your belief in the 'Big Bang
Theory'.


Have you fully considered the concept of eternity? I would become
agonizingly bored after having the same thoughts and experiences for the
10^999th time. At some point it becomes torture no matter how many
distant relatives I'm surrounded by. (perhaps hastened by some of them)

Everlasting life seems designed to appeal to a child-like fear of death.

I was fine not existing before birth and will be fine not existing after
death except in others memories. It's satisfying just trying to make
this life meaningful.

Glad you're fine and satisfied. Go in peace and love to serve yourself.


As if you were serving anyone but yourself.

“basers” that cannot tolerate gays, blacks, latinos, students, women,
and non-Christians, and a small minority of “old-style” Republicans who
pretend to ignore morons like Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin, and the venom
their party leaders spew.
