What Are You Doing Right Now? (165 Viewers)

[Trequartista]

I find that quite interesting, what teachings in particular do you follow? What is your purpose now?

To love my neighbor's as myself; to be compassionate, to forgive others, help the needy.

My purpose is to help the people of my community and share knowledge, which is why I've been involved for some time with a book/literacy charity.

Fair enough.

A question though, do you need to be a Christian to do all that though?

Not at all.

To be honest, I'm not a fan and ashamed of a lot of things churches and people do in the name of Jesus these days, things that our the opposite of what the New Testament teaches.

fair enough man, whatever works for you as long as you are happy that is all that matters.

I highly doubt that, I actually think there's going to be a religious revival in the West in the next few decades. The spiritual void left by the decline of Christianity hasn't been compensated for by consumerism and materialism and I believe that at one point, there's going to be a comeback of religion.

All I'm trying to do is help you understand that that is merely a blip on an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory.

Remember you posted a picture of your room and I said it looked like the cell of a monk?
Nailed it

It's not only about fear. We're all trying to make sense of our existences and religions give us a purpose in life that materialism cannot provide.

I think science is actually beginning to scrape the surface and finally trying to look for an answer. It's something that scientists have shied away from in the past, because purpose and meaning sound religious, but IMO one of the end goals of science should be figuring out why and how we came to be.

Based on science and rational thinking we can exclude God (as in the Bible) or Allah (as in the Quran). I'm agnostic, but there are factual errors in both books and especially in the latter it wouldn't make sense as it's the world of Allah himself, who obviously cannot be mistaken about anything as he is Allah. The only logical conclusion is that he cannot exist.

I sort of wish I could believe that we have some higher purpose but I just don't, I think we are just here, by chance to do as we please I guess.

Same.

Sometimes I do think about my mortality and what happens when we die, it scares me, but I tend to put it to the back of my mind.

death scares me because I believe its just that, eternity of nothing, of course I won't realise as I will be dead but its terrifying.

So we all get old and then we can't hack it anymore. Is that it?

Much like what if the day comes when we have no choice but to play Chimenti.

It's simple: when you die, you go back to being what you were before you were born. You won't feel anything, you won't remember anything. Just silence and darkness. All the elements that gathered from around the universe to form the body that is you will dissipate back where they came from, ending this beautiful journey that is your life. A journey that began out of love.

Plus, if there IS an afterlife, think of it as a bonus.

My theory is that we don't have a higher purpose, there is no afterlife and we are just here for the ride that is life, everything is chance.
