Re: short life = better life?
It's not like Jesus came and said, "listen, I know you're all desperate for eternal life, so here's what I'm going to do.....".
​
Infact it was Christ who came and told us about it.
well i'm afraid i have to disagree with you on this, the concept of eternal life is pretty much universal in all religions in some form or another, in fact being one with your god/s having a person grant you eternal life was a pretty common religious theme
norse, celtic, greek, roman, many of the mystery religions believed it
​
many things were looked on as eternel, so why not the human soul?, it comes down to fear of death being the end

Re: If God is God
so you know the mind of god then? can you really claim to know what god would and would not do? how do you know god wouldn't use evolution to do things? oh i know from a book! remember the bible is not god so claiming what is in the bible maybe wrong
as i have said before why do we need some mystical reason to exist? whats wrong with making our own reasons?
