Are you happy you were born?

[JackBauer]

This has been bugging me for about a year...

Are you happy you were born? Wouldn't you rather not exist? It would take a long time to explain how i came to the conclusion that life is trash.. i mean i've got it good..but it's un fullfilling. i race, drink, blah blah blah..and have my fun, but the whole time i'm thinking about how useless life is.. I'd blow my brains out if i wasn't afraid of going to hell.
The whole process of having children disgusts me, yuk! why have a child? 70 percent of people on the planet go to hell..chances are that baby will too..having children is the most selfish thing i can think of.

...What? I think Roman's right. Get off the drugs.

I don't think about what will happen to me after I die, or what will become of my children if I have any. Life is a journey and can be a beautiful thing, so giving life to someone else isn't selfish in my eyes.

besides my useless spur of the moment post, ill go ahead and actually contribute

i didnt have a choice whether i was gonna be here. to quote jarhead, were here now, everything else is bullshit.

[JackBauer]

but how is birth right? I wish i could put a curse on the night of my conception..why didn't my dead beat dad take my mom to the movies or something, i mean $h!t!

If i never existed, i wouldn't be here.. nothing is worth a crap. absolutley frikin nothing.. having children should be a crime, your bringing an innocent soul into supreme danger. And why wouldn't you worry about the next life, this one is only 80 years on average..70 world wide. If you don't believe in an afterlife, then forget that statement, just to the guy that said he didn't care about the next one.

Here we go:
There is absolutely no logical reason for the existance of people, of life in general, or anything at all. But it happened, so make the best of it.

Be good and you will be lonesome
Be lonesome and you will be free
Live a lie and you will live to regret it
That's what livin' is to me
That's what livin' is to me

Find a goal you sincerely want to reach, and acheive it. Lounging around all the time, focusing on just surviving whatever hardship you have, and not caring about much in life, is not good.

[JackBauer]

Theres no goal I can't reach. Everything i want to do is available to me.
The thing is.. I don't know. Pretty much everyone in this thread is an atheist .. i'm gonna sound like a dumbass if i explain my logic to how i came to this conclusion.

A question to the atheists..i mean very seriously, not being an ass or trying to start a 100 page disrespectful debate, if you really believe theres no afterlife or God.. why don't you just blow your brains out? I mean lets be perfectly honest.. no matter what you do or think, if theres no intended creation, no purpose to your life.. you might as well shoot yourself tonight.

Honestly, if I knew there was no afterlife, I probably would've offed myself by now. I had some points in my life where I didn't feel like it was worth living. But for now, I'm content to stay alive, I've got a goal that I'm trying to get (read: girl)

if you really believe theres no afterlife or God.. why don't you just blow your brains out?

Because there's things I want to experience in this life. Do you live your life ignoring everything that's going on, only looking forward to when you die and go into 'afterlife'?

[JackBauer]

Of course your not sure.. there are very few people who truthfully believes they are 100% sure there is no God.. God has put a measure of faith in everyone. The thing that gets to me is that i know and billions other know for sure the one true God.. What has me pissed off to be honest and hating life..
That 70 percent of the population is going to hell, and i feel like some goddamn expirament and i wish i was never born..because now i've been drafted into a war i don't feel like fighting. If i was never born i would of never been a part of this..

From a Christian perspective..you should live your life in a way that everything you do honors God.
What do you want to do in this life thats so great? you cant take it with you to the grave bud'. I'm not saying you should blow your brains out.. but theoretically if there was no god..that would be the smart way out.

[noob5,000,000]

I'm just saying it doesn't make sense for someone to kill themselves just because they don't believe in an afterlife. I mean, there's a good 70+ years before they're supposed die (assuming natural causes, average life expectancy, etc.) and the 'afterlife' is supposed to begin. That's 70 years of life on Earth to enjoy with other people doing the things they like to do. There's more to life than religion...

[JackBauer]

well no, thats not a very long time..90 percent of everyone here will be dead or near dead in 55 years; assuming an average life span of 80.
This life, again if you believe in God, is very short..this is proving ground. I don't consider belief in Jesus christ religion.. more of a relationship..the thing atheists don't understand is that God talks..if you shut the hell up, and open the ears of your heart and just relax, he'll talk to you..for realz.
