Quote from Gaius_4:
Man is sinful by nature.
This is so fucked that I don't even know where to begin. Why would a supreme being create sentient creatures that are flawed to begin with? What kind of god would make humans just to watch them battle all these 'sinful' urges that he cursed them with, all the while threatening them with eternal hellfire if they give in to their inherent 'sinfulness'?
And this whole idea of right vs. wrong is fucked. Things that hurt other people are wrong - because they hurt others, and we know what it's like to be hurt and we don't like it, so we don't want others to experience being hurt. It's so simple, why do people have to complicate it so much? It's so simple that even other social creatures like ANTS and BEES grasp this concept, and they do it without all this crap about sin, redemption, salvation, etc. We don't kill each other because we need each other to survive. We don't kill/steal/rape because it causes people pain and pain is bad. Why do so many people seem to NEED the threat of hellfire in order to make the decision to not hurt others? This morality as defined by some god is not needed, or even necessary. In fact, people who identify themselves as christian are SIX TIMES more likely to go to prison, and yes that is accounting per capita. It's a statistical sociological study that comes up all over the place if you google it, so don't be lazy and demand that I provide any one of the million links to it.
And why the hell do so many people go through life using critical thinking which helps them to determine what is real and what isn't, yet seem to short circuit and not proceed when it comes to their faith? You pretty much know that there are no unicorns by using this type of reasoning, so now apply it to your faith. It's that simple. But no, people become uncomfortable, irrational, and defensive at this notion because they are afraid. SO afraid in fact that they will kill millions of people before they will question these bizarre delusional ideas that they have been hammered with since birth. These people will giggle at the idea that Zeus and the gods of greek mythology are real, and they think the idea is ridiculous, but their own religion is ridiculous for THE EXACT SAME REASONS that the greek religion is ridiculous. Why can't people see that? It's clear as day, black and white, as obvious as obvious can get, yet they have some kind of mental barrier that absolutely bars them from realizing it. It's even been called a 'virus' by many scientists because it really does work like a mental illness.

Because it would be entertaining.

What is it about it that scares people so deeply? Because they are afraid that there is more to reality than they have confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in and they don't want us to go in there either because if we go in, we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.
ok so that's talking about lsd but i think it applies here too. :P

Really? I don't think anyone knows what our purpose in life/living really is, but if I had to take a guess then I would have to say that it is to love. It's simple, perfect, and I can't think of a better purpose. And that has nothing to do with working on anything or struggling.
I guess my main point would be that I don't understand why you think that there would/could not be any purpose in life without something to 'work on' because I could sit here from now until the end of time coming up with guesses that have nothing to do with working on anything.
EDIT: maybe there is no purpose....
