Brilliant. That is life. Enjoying the walk. I find pleasure in it. I like getting together with my friends for a game of football, or just to talk. I like hanging out with my family and talking about everyday things, and enjoy the company. I like life. I like living. It gives me pleasure as well as pain, but the pleasure seems to make it worth it all. Correction. YOU can't help but think that there's a point. YOU like to have the world the way YOU want it. I do not live in hope of a beautiful afterlife, or in blind unprovable belief that the "bad guys" will be punished "later". Sure, life isn't fair, but I've gotten over it. I've grown up. I don't believe in fairy tales that the prince marries the beautiful young poor girl. Most of the time the prince marries some other rich girl. I find it wrong maybe. But I don't try to rationalise it with some untrue concept.

One more thing: Just because the lack of god makes life pointless to you, doesn't make god exist.







Maybe YOU should find the answers to those questions before you subscribe to and believe a religion wholeheartedly? I HAVE posed these questions to every theist friend I was close enough to, a few agreed they didn't really know what they were on about, while a few were adamant that they just "knew" god existed.



Wrong, you believe in god because it's the only way you can have the world the way you want it to be. You can't settle for what you have, and what you see, so you decide that by thinking god exists, the world is fine. I'll repeat, just because believing in god makes your world better, that doesn't mean he really exists.

It's the only way that i can survive in this world, really. Honestly, this place is going down hill. There's violence the world over, children, parents, grandparents, all dying needlessly of stupid things like hunger and lack of water, because our politicians are too greedy and oil hungry to help anyone that wont benefit them... People join gangs out of want to be excepted, only to kill and be killed. People corrupt and distort Religion (which is not the same as faith, btw) to destroy and kill. People hate, and belittle, and torture, and kill, and get killed needlessly due to sin, and greed, and hate.

The only way that this world is possibly sane is if there's a second life that will balance this out... where the just and honest and good are rewarded, where the greedy and immoral and murderous have to face up to their crimes. Where, (To use a metaphore from Brave New World) John the Savage learns he was right all along, and Mustapha Mond learns that he made a horrible, horrible mistake.

And dont get me wrong, im not saying that life should be painless, since there's no learning, nor true happiness without pain. but it's gotten to the point where needless violence is everywhere. the corrupt government in Africa, Jihad in the Middle East, the Troubles in Ireland, and none of it makes sense. I cant believe that this is the final end point. that you die and you're gone. that Love dies along with the body. that greed and murder go unpunished. that a child who gets killed by some bomb, whether it be strapped to them by their parents, or launched by a soldier, will just die, and end then and there. Life is beyond unfair, vasu. It's cruel. It's merciless. It's not just that i WANT there to be something more. I can't possibly believe it's not. I doubt me, nor many others who may feel as me, could keep their sanity otherwise. And it's not foundless; it's not baseless; It's faith based, and faith founded. Obviously, i cant find scientific evidence that will prove anything, but i can think, and feel, and hope.
