re: Do you believe that the United States was founded as a Christian Nation?

We assume that animals live and die everyday largely without lasting significance, why should we be any different just because we are aware of our existence?

---

Because we are made in God's image.. He made us to have fellowship with him...

Moreover, so that we never die and live forever with God the father.

Eternal consciousness, even in paradise, seems like torture to me.

you are describing an existence apart from God.

Our struggles we are familiar with here on earth are not going with those who are going to heaven.

Somewhere on your journey you lost hope, trust and faith in God and his word?... I hope you find it once again.

The bottom line is we are the clay and we do not control much of anything.. but we can choose to love God or we can choose to love ourselves and deny God.

These important decisions have eternal consequences. Fair or not, we don't get to judge it because we don't control the outcome.

Loving God is not a burden..
