[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the replies so far.  I guess I struggle with the desire to believe in God (or the indoctrination I experienced?) and want to be comforted by a master plan. I accept we must all die, and I accept that some crappy things happen. I also accept that some bad things I've experienced have caused me to grow as a person, mature, and have a better perspective. However, that still doesn't answer my question about horrible violence or why God doesn't intervene in one instance but not another.  I've struggled with atheism because I feel like there must be more than just actions and reactions in our world. (I'm not explaining this well, but I mean I struggle with the idea that stuff happens for no purpose and that's the existence of life.)  Can those who feel differently share some of your thoughts on this?  Thank you for your replies so far. [/quote]

I'd say that we humans make our purpose - and like everything else in the universe, there is only a limited amount we can control and even then, not always.  I feel lucky just to to be here - it's such a crapshoot, really, being born in the first place.[/quote]
