No worries, my friend. We're all crazy. I know I am!\n\nBesides, you're right. It matters not what the world thinks of you. It only matters what you think of yourself...and what God thinks. \n\nMoreover, you are very poetic! I liked some of the visions you explained- like the bird flying on the winds of the desert. It kind of alludes to the existential isolation that we all must bear in this indifferent universe.\n\nMaybe the voice was God- maybe it wasn't. But he does exist, and he does speak to us.\n\nYou lived on for a reason. Maybe sometime, a revelation will emerge forth, and you will understand why you haven't completed your mission in life just yet.\n\nI almost died at least on one occasion, myself- life is sacred to me now, and although life is painful, it's worth living.\n\nMark my words- you are okay in my book. The truly sick people are out in the streets, my friend- they don't even know that they are sick. They are the ones that belong in a hospital.

[aside: try not to judge me by what i'm gonna say-- because everything I say is gonna be from my point of view and what I believe.]\n\nfirstly, it's awesome that you're seeking help-- because in a sense-- that's you fighting back.\n\n... i wish i was smarter or more eloquent in the things i say. but i'll give it a shot.\n\nyou said you've become so used to thinking about this everyday that you don't know what you'd be like without it. how are you with it? like-- do you feel a peace when you think of death?\n\nand if so-- is that because you'd be in a better place? or because you just wouldnt be here in this place.\n\nhonestly-- i just wanna say: i dont know why you feel this way. i'm sorry that you do. but you were meant for more than this. in everything I believe inside, you were made with a purpose by a good God who loved you. but there's also satan, whose main goal is just to steal from this good God the very thing He loves-- His creation.\n\nso to me-- the fact that you've struggled with this since you were so young means to me that you were made for something amazing. just because--why else would satan work so hard to take your life and very purpose away if he didn't feel like you'd be something great in life.\n\ni really am grateful you're still here. and that you've been so strong. and i'm sorry if i trivialized anything or offended you in any way.\n\nim not trying to say "oh. you feel this way? ok-- just means you'll grow more and be better off in the end" >> no not at all. \n\nim so sorry that THIS was the hand you were given. but i really do believe that your life is something to be celebrated. that you have a purpose. i believe that for all of us. \n\ni too struggled with something since i was so so young.and it really did become my identity. i struggled with it for about 15 years, until it was like one day-- God just gave me an answer i didnt even know i was looking for.\n\nfor some reason i asked myself that day-- 'why me? why have i struggled with this since i was... so SO young?' \n\nand i felt so strongly on the inside for the first time in my life God saying-- 'because-- satan knew your potential. and what you could be if you got it right'\n\nand it was actually in that moment that i was freed. i really was. it just-- angered me that the devil cost me 15 years of my life-- but i realized that day that the rest of my life was meant for something. that what the freakin devil meant for evil-- God can use for good.\n\nand so that's what He did in me. i teach kids now... and im pretty much trying to help them deal with what i had to. \n\nwhat im trying to say with all this rambling (sorry about that by the by)... is that your life. matters so much. please-- don't end it. and keep up the good fight. because you were meant for something more than what death has to offer.

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nAs human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II told us that ultimately JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.\n\nThus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, wrote: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope added, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth. \n\nEach of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

I'm searching for wisdom.Part of the search is learning how other people think,feel and believe.I mostly just read the questions and answers on here.I'll only answer a question once in a while,like this one.
130682
Okay hypocrite . . . I will answer your question by going through your question\n\n1) Atheists, do you think it could ever be worth it to die for someone else? \nA) Yes, for someone love or care about.  I have risked my limbs to protect a child I didn't know . . . .  You know sometimes I wished I died instead of my beloved when my son was born.\n\n2) If so, why when atheists believe that everyone just stops existing after death? \nA) Then what is the purpose of death . . . if you will be alive within a day or week.  No one would be afraid to die . . . but all people are athiest and religious people.\n\n3) Doesn't that not leave any room for belief in any kind of concept of a higher good?\nA) We create the highest good and the highest evil in our daily lives . . . with the principles we hold.  I am not talking about religion . . . because all religions that I studied promote the highest good . . . but always does the opposite.\n\nBy the way, I do believe in God and a higher good. Have a nice day. \n\nAdditional Details\n\nApr 27, 2006 at 10:53 pm\n4) What do you mean that you would do it "for love" or for "what is right"? \nA) Basically that . . . we would risk our lives for those we love or to do the right thing.  Religion is not the only bearers to know what is right or wrong.\n\n5) That doesn't answer the question of why. It sounds like these are principles that go beyond atheist belief that human life is nothing but an evolution of a monkey or fish and nothing afterward.\nA) Belief . . . not belief . . . principles . . . ethics . . . humanity.  Something you don't know nothing about.\n\nApr 27, 2006 at 10:57 pm\n6) Please define "good person" and why you think you should be a "good person" or what you believe compels you to be a "good person".\nA) There is no such thing as a good person . . . I am not good and nothing compels me to be good . . . I just do what comes naturally.\n\n7) If you say the civil law, that doesn't explain willingness to give your life for another since there is no civil law which requires this other than military.\nA) So you think firefighters, paramedics, police, law enforcement risk their lives for religious principles.  No, it is a requirement to protect the innocents or the victims of life.\n\nApr 27, 2006 at 10:59 pm\nSomeone said, "Why? Because I place the value of my family over myself. I love them. Love is good enough of a reason."\n\n8) Why?\nA) I guess you place higher value on yourself than your family . . . I don't believe in God . . . but doesn't it say that "lawless will be lovers of themselves"  Yet you claim to believe in God and that you have the higher good . . . okay hypocrite.\n\nApr 27, 2006 at 11:11 pm\n9) Someone said, "what makes you think atheists are selfish ?"\n\nI didn't say that they all were. As a matter of fact, I think I showing that it is possible that some of those who believe they are atheist really do believe in God. \nA)  They don't . . . unless they are agnostic . . . which do believe in a higher power . . . what is unknown.\n\nThey just call their God "love" or their religion "doing what is right" or being a good person". \n\n10) This is the kind of "atheist" who could make a good Christian if they open their heart and see how Christ died for us out of love. \nA)  Love . . . I thought you said that was not a good reason, answer your own question why?\n\nAlso, In the scriptures . . . Jesus asked God if he could be saved and not die . . . but understood he must because God required him to die . . . for a sacrifice.\n\n11) The other kind of atheist is full of pride and is self-centered. This kind of atheist can't appreciate Jesus dying for us out of love because they themselves wouldn't do that for anyone because they know not love.\nA) I do not believe in God . . . or religion . . . but I do now love . . . w

Proof that our "friend" is a hypocrite and a mental case, see above.\n\nI ask myself every time I read the Bible, what does this mean FOR me.

=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=\nHave you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it: \n“I do not know whence I have come. \nI saw my feet walking on the road. \nAs they please I go and stop. \nWhat am I doing here? \nHow did the road find me?\nI do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”\n\nGod has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?”  (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2) \nIndeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah  is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)\nProphet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)\nProphet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)\nProphet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)\nRead more about the TRUE BELIEF which supported by the Miracle Holy Quran :\nhttp://www.islam-guide.com/islam-guide.pdf\n\nhttp://www.harunyahya.com\n\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*==*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=\n\n\nGod, the Most Compassionate, didn't leave man to go astray without an unadulterated reference. Indeed, He revealed the Qur’an and promised to preserve it as the final revelation for humankind for all times. It is the word of God which He revealed to Prophet Muhammad (mercy and peace of God be upon him) through the Angel Gabriel. It was revealed in parts over a period of 23 years. The Quran deals with the basis of creeds, morality, history of humanity, worship, knowledge, wisdom, God-man relationship, and human relationship in all aspects. Comprehensive teaching on which, can be built sound systems of social justice, economics, politics, legislation, jurisprudence, law and international relations, are important contents of the Quran. The Prophet Muhammad (mercy and peace of God be upon him) dictated the revelation to his companions who wrote it down during his lifetime on palm leaves, parchments, bones, flat stones, etc. In addition, the Qur'an was committed to heart by many of Prophet Muhammad's companions. One year after the death of Prophet Muhammad (mercy and peace of God be upon him), the first Caliph (Ruler), Abu-Bakr, instructe

LOL!\n\nwhy are there even people on this world who don't understand this point ur making.\n\ni mean, sometimes sarcasm is deeply hidden, but if they even don't see your point in this, then maybe God should start flooding the earth again :)

Call me crazy but I don't think it's "logical" to ask why God did anything.  I don't feel we should live our lives asking questions as to why "Creator" did this or that.  We should simply be thankful for all that we have.  If someone is truly thankful the questions will no longer exist...:)>

Every now and then I'll take a chance and answer this.  \n\nIf God created us, he created us for a reason.  This suggests we can have purpose.  Our human potential is set at the moment of conception, genetically.  God, can assess how you did against your potential.  It is up to you.\n\nThe other side.  Life is totally materialistic.  Everthing is cause and effect.  If so, how can you have an original idea.  How would it be caused.  It is random?  Sorry!  I have random ideas, but I also think, I assess, I understand, I think, I am me.  Life is not materialistic, at least to me, unless I am deluded.  By the way, if I am deluded, so are you.  I am not, I believe, thus, life is not materialistic.  Think about it!\n\nBottom Line:  atheism leads to no free will.  A creator allows free will.  \n\nSorry, just seems to be the way it is.  If you are facing a contradiction, check your premises, you will find one is wrong. \n\nBy the way, who says God knows this, or that, or whatever?  Another man?  Why?  So what does that mean?  Be honest, what does that mean?  Nothing more than your words. Did God tell you He knows all?  If so, I'd like to talk to you.      \n\nMy friend, think about what you say.  You are looking for answers, but you reject them before you start.

I have came to understand the why of the question you ask.  This world is not our home, we are just passing through.  The more we endure and experience, the more we cling to JESUS CHRIST and seek to do the will of FATHER GOD.  These things we go through, the loneliness we feel here, are all part of the plan.  If we were too comfortable here, then we wouldn't have a reason to want to go to heaven would we?\n\n\nI have said this several times here to several people, and as yet have had no takers...you can feel free to access my profile page and drop an email through there.  We can fellowship if you so desire.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU

LOL. This is an odd question.\n\nIt's like asking, what is the point of life with death? Why have life then let it die?\n\nDeath comes about because life exists. You cannot have one without the other. Same with destruction. You cannot destroy something that has not been created.

I went to church today... Church makes my whole day feel better.  I am a saved Christian and believe in God without a shadow of a doubt... I know where I am going when I die- I hope you do to. \n\n" I can't see the air, but I know it's there- I can't see my Lord, but I KNOW he's there."\n\n        -WORDS TO LIVE BY

indivuduals look for god as a way to answer things that cannot or have yet to be answered, such as where we came from, what's our purpose here, and just plain why? also it's a way to feel that we are not alone. we want to think that someone is controling out fate and that we aren't just floating around from with no point to our existance

We are all on this earth for a very short time. You & I aren't speacial, we too will die. Make the most of this life while we are here, is the lesson we should get from this. Lets try to be thankful for this young mans life even though it was short. He died doing something he loved. In my book thats better then being layed up in a bed suffering for long time. I know it is hard, but after the, understandable, saddess life goes on and our time here is limited.
