[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Me too op. Super religious upbringing here. I totally get why people believe etc. Try as I might, I just do not feel it. It's made me more able to live in the moment. You really value life when you think this is it![/quote]

It's not supposed to be something you "feel." And no one values life more than one who believes he was created by God for a purpose.[/quote]

What about those people whose purpose seems to die of a dread disease at a young age?  Or those whose purpose is to be born into a life of abject poverty?  [b]How much do they value life[/b]?[/quote]

It depends. How well do they know God?[/quote]

nice display of Christian empathy[/quote]

I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean, but I think this is a logical question. If PP is asking how much someone who is dying at a young age values life, I don't think you can answer that across the board. It does depend on whether or not they know God.[/quote]

pp here, was asking how a person can value life if they thought God made them for the purpose of suffering in the various ways described while God made others who don't have to suffer.  Am suggesting that no good god would be involved in such capricious treatment.[/quote]
How do you "know" that what God does is capricious?[/quote]

I don't think there is a god, but a god who allows some innocent people to suffer would certainly be capricious - and selectively cruel[/quote]
