If there’s no afterlife, what’s the point of life?

[Counterclocking]

I hope there is clear evidence that God, Jesus, and Heaven exist. I hope this isn’t a fairy tale like Santa Clause 🎅 and Easter bunny 🐰. I don’t want death to be the end of life but a beginning of a new and better life. I want it to be that eternal life, happiness, peace, and love is real. No jokes.

I get sick of hearing this word (believe). I refuse to be gullible.

The Bible says you can not please God without faith.

HEBREWS 11:16-

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him".

you say show me proof. God says show me just a tiny bit of faith. You say but show me proof. And the cycle goes around.

Mind you there’s already proof. Your existence is proof. All of life is proof. It’s in the food you eat the water you drink. Im not a mathematician but I bet you could prove God through math; why? Because he created everything.

Science was actually founded to prove God, Science actually can’t disprove God that’s impossible unless you just don’t want God to exist just like how some people don’t want to believe you can’t change your gender biologically. An artist always leaves his signature on his art. How much more God who wants you to know him. I’m a very deep thinker, I think about all these things but I also read the Bible.

there's a book written by a man who went to school and gained a bunch of PhD degrees for the sole purpose to disprove God. That man became a Christian and wrote the book: Evidence That Demands a Verdict: Life-Changing Truth for a Skeptical World

Hypothetically, lets say hell and heaven collide on earth, literally go to war. Starting with hells army being here for a couple of years while the army of heaven is absent. Those on the side of good are far outnumbered by death's army. If this match is lost, we all go deeper into hell. If it is won and one was an active participant for good, you get a chance at heaven.

What are you willing to do to get into the kingdom of heaven? Would you put it all on the line?

And it's not just sitting at home on your couch saying nice things that would grant entry. That's a spectator who isn't on either side.

A pointless cycle of be born, reproduce and die that started for no reason and will someday end for no reason.

The only place points exist is inside of human minds. Same goes for all of the religious that have existed since the beginning of our species LONG before any of those still in practice today.

Something might happen when we die, but I’ve never died before, so I don’t know what it is. We’ll all find out someday.

Best to play it safe and just be good anyway. 😉

I just have a few questions:
First if all , why would life exist if not for a purpose?
Second, being good doesn't get anyone anything. Its only purposes are fooling people into thinking that they can get into heaven, or showing them thet they really can't be good enough. Enter the Gospel. Humans are inherently evil, and we could never be good enough for heaven. Considering that it's God's dwelling place, everything has to be perfect to be there. Thus, humanity on its own could not get there. The alternative ending is hell. We need Jesus' forgiveness toget to heaven, but he shouldn't have given it to us. But he did because he loved us, which is absolutely insane to think about. God, paid the price 1 for me so I would not have to go to hell. And he did the same for you.
We can be certain about life after death. There is truth to be found.

If you do not believe right now that Jesus Christ, God's only son, died for your sins and mine, You will be a lost soul who will burn in hell. He is family and the main drain on this earth Who gave you life and everything you have and own and want, is in His hands. Read the King James Bible to get to know Your Father in Heaven. Or die trying. There!

[AaronKrieger]

I have never believed in a God, afterlife, or any religion since I was 11 and I've always felt like it's freeing in a way. Life is about overcoming the challenges it brings, so you get to grow, but also enjoy the simpler moments. You get to work hard all your life and then eventually be put to rest. Death is really just sleeping, but without dreaming being a part of it.

You just need to be willing to push yourself and try to reach your goals. Become the best version of yourself and experience life before you die. I get to choose who I become

[LiamJHayden]

I personally started with existence itself. If at any point there was literally nothing, then we would not be having this discussion because there would still be nothing, as "nothing" cannot produce anything. Unless we ignore every law of science and logic, the universe did not create itself. This took me to the concept of a First Cause. Now that First Cause did not have to be God, but had to be someone or something that inherently possessed "being." The saying is often incorrectly stated as "Every thing has a cause." That is not necessarily true. "Every effect has a cause." is a true statement.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I think the whole point of life is that life. I bite my thumb at people that feel it is worthless because only the afterlife matters to them. ... and for a dude like me that can't prove there is even a afterlife... Just enjoy the life we have.

[Simslover92]

The point of life is what you make it. You have to decide for yourself what your life means. How can it be meaningful before you die? What comes after is irrelevant if you've lead a pretty good life where you focused on the people you love and tried to make the best decisions in your life. If heaven is real, that's just a bonus the way I see it now if you were a decent person who tried to live a mostly decent life. But focusing on the here and now, is all you can do really.

[call_me_scar]

To live everyday how you want don't waist a second because you won't have entirety to make up for it. On the flip side wouldn't an afterlife make life meaningless I mean living forever is a bloody long time all of human history would just feel like a second to you all those funny moments you've had all those friends you'd forget about in time I don't know it just sounds insanely boring and kinda depressing to me

[Ben487]

there is no point except to continue the species and see what becomes of us. We're here now, someone else will be here later, and someone else after that, this goes on for thousands of generations until we are something very different in the far future.

[HaveNoName]

Right there in your question, you killed any possibility of accepting any explanation. So, I am not sure why someone would care to explain, unless he has superb power to change your thinking.

Disclaimer: I am not a Christian but I believe in Jesus; though not as a divinity.

[jshm2]

You are gullible, though.

But you also seem like the sort of disloyal and worthless friend that is only there when it suits them and not anyone else. But expect everyone else to be fully focused on you.

[MementoMori777]

Search up the prophecies of the Bible that have come true, there's proof, people just refuse to see it.

[Rangers]

There's no point to afterlife, either. Except trying not to go to hell cause growing fruit constantly isn't so bad when compared to being held in eternal flames with no hope of escape

[purplepoppy]

If there is no afterlife then this life is the point that matters.

[exitseven]

That is a good question we won't know until we get there

[Anonymous]

^ This, grow up.

[ColHathi]

You just have to believe in believing, I believe 👍

But no, I hope so too.

[admles]

I have never believed in a god ever, the point of life for me is to ENJOY IT!

It's the only life we get, so make the most of it.

[Quackthulu2]

Life doesn’t have a point, it just is.
