What is the point of living if you're going to die anyway?

Answer 1

The point in living is different for everybody. Some want money, Others want power. Me? I just want to be as happy as possible without others pushing religion down my throat. In my opinion, If there was a God, He/She/It must have forgotten about all the poor innocents who have died throughout history in earth quakes, Floods, Hurricanes, Wars etc. I hear the millions of worshippers saying that this is Gods way of telling us that we're abusing the planet or these are all man made events, My answer is that "almighty" means power to do what it sees fit. In that case, The meaning of life is this:- Make the most of what time we have because nobody controls you, Nobody owns you, Nobody is on the other side waiting for you and nobody can stop you being who you want to be if you really want to be as much as you can. Bottom line, Make money, Spend money, Retire with hard earned money then die with no money. That way,You've lived life and spent what is yours to spend. Religion? Ha! killed more people than everything else in history combined. Pay no attention to religion and your life will be less demanding, Less stressful, Less discriminating and you have Sundays to do whatever the hell you like!

Unlike this person above me, im episcopalian, and i believe in god, living a good life, and my lifestyle is to be happy free, and one day, when me, or you or someone else dies, their soul will go to heaven. For now, i just live life to the funnest and fullest. :D. the question depresses me, so i keep my mind off, by simply setting goals to make my life worth lving. i love life. and i find religion beneficial in my life, but im not one to force on anyone.... im only 13 :P

Answer 2

so you can eat food and stuff and die Their's always a reason for our existence even if we don't understand it at the time.Hang in their smile.

This is a question which has been asked throughout the ages, and a question to which no one can give a completely true answer. Personally, I believe that each person must find his or her own point to existence, and getting there can be half the fun. If things were always given to us easily, they would not mean as much.

this is why freedom tastes different for the ones who have fought for it and have been able to keep themselves alive or just plain lucky. Most of the times because when they were in the worst of troubles they had a mother back home in her knees praying for his safety. Those who have gotten close to see death near them, are more than qualified to answer this question.

there really isn't an answer to this a question.god decided to have people to live on his master piece.(earth)
