Life has no purpose except the one you give to it. I used culture to define it, as it is defined as a way of life.

Are you saying that those who didn't know about God, don't have a concept of wrong and right?
The highlighted is what makes many to become sadistic and when others are rejoicing you will be complaining as if everyone should join you to become sadists.
Well that's the good thing about life we all can't reason the same way if you feel like your life is purposeless with God try to make a purpose for yourself without God nah!🙂

Same reason why another finds purpose in Allah, and turns terrorist.

I have given my life a purpose, if I didn't define what life is to me, I would have quit living. I wrote that culture gives life a purpose, let me extend it by adding that it gives deities like God or Allah a purpose too

As a Christian, your purpose is to worship God. Then those who aren't Christians have no purpose or perhaps have a wrong purpose...
Re: When People Die. Where Do They Go. I Want To Know. by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:43am On Nov 26, 2025
You got it all wrong Sir!
Those whose life has a purpose are really happy and so they derive joy in making others around them happy or let's just say they love putting smiles on people's face.
It's sadists whose life is purposeless to them that feels like inflicting pain on others!🙂

A man whose purpose is to bring happiness to those around him goes to others, murders and pillages their land. Then, brings the spoils home, and his community is happy and joyous. Meanwhile, the people he took from suffer in pain and tears. Is this not the purpose you just defined?

Is he not a sadist?

Now you've stopped asking questions but telling me what you concluded due to events. smiley
First of all God shouldn't reveal all these things to us but out of kindness He has done what even you won't do.
Adam and Eve chose to be on Satan's side and billions upon billions of their descendants are following their path so God is doing this for the few among Adam's descendants who have proved to be different despite all the troubles caused by the three rebels even though they don't know how or what led to all these but they still try as much as possible to live by their conscience! Romans 2:14-15
So why do people like me believe that the Bible God is the one and only true God?
After narrating how everything started and what led mankind to this condition He made a promise and today He is fulfilling it globally just as it's written in the Bible.
Where most people like got everything all wrong is when you failed to investigate matters expecting things to fall in place like Job in the Bible then instead of humbly seeking guidance like Job your summed everything up and concluded there is no Yahweh {Psalms 10:4} but when the table turns and you find yourself in the same situation you expect everyone around you to dig deep before judging you! smiley

Well if you want to know what God has promised and if fulfilling throughout the earth today i will be here to show you but if you're still keeping grudges against God for the consequences of the evil deeds of Satan, Adam and Eve i wish you luck!🙂
I do not know if I can keep engaging this. People brought religion to us and did things their own scriptures approved, even slaves had bibles grin, yet I am expected to hold a grudge against God or Satan. I do not care about either. Eternity means nothing to me. What is the point of eternal life? Happiness without sadness has no context, you'll need opposites to know one. Endless existence without contrast is emptiness.

The fear and greed that fuel Christianity are childish to me. I will not live like a coward because someone threatened me with eternal fire or promised me streets of gold. None of it is real. If heaven were real, it would not look like ancient human fantasies filled with trumpets, gold, and robes. Muslim heaven has horses and feasts. Christian heaven has gold and giant-sized fairies. These are not divine visions. They are human imaginations.

People live here on earth, yet spend their lives obsessed with another world they cannot see. Good for them. I hope they reach their heaven or their hell. As for me, I will not be in either.

Again you got it wrong Sir!🙂
There is no difference between those in your village and people around the world they are all humans so to be really happy you can't inflict pain on people who has done you no wrong only to take the spoils to yet other humans.
Right thinking ones among those you are taking the spoils to will refuse to take it from you when they discover you are hurting others just to please them!🙂

Very Good, Let's run a litmus test



God commanded the Israelites to kill every man, woman, and child in Bashan under King Og. You had never touched them, never provoked them, and still you were slaughtered and your land taken (Deuteronomy 3:1–6). Was God a sadist?

God, through Christ and the apostles, instructed slaves to obey their earthly masters, even when harsh (Ephesians 6:5–8; Colossians 3:22–24; 1 Peter 2:18). Christ did not condemn slavery;

Today, our sense of justice and freedom exists independently of these instructions.

God is a happy person but why not ask of their offense before God asked the Israelites to exterminate this people?🙂

Roycemadeit:
Life has no inherent purpose until you give it one. If you truly knew the purpose of life, you would not search for it in a book. Defining your existence by a text written centuries after humanity began suggests that everyone who lived before it had no purpose, even those who wrote the book. Life does not come with a pre-written meaning; you awaken, open your eyes, and you are here. You alone give your life meaning.

Culture, not a book, shapes the way life is lived. It defines life and gives it context. Searching for purpose in a book is a shortcut that ignores your own humanity. Morality and understanding of right and wrong should arise from your experience, not from pages written by men centuries ago.
So you're saying that the purpose of life is culture, is culture the reason why we're here?

Beyond religion, ethnicity, or race, you are a human being. You feel pain, joy, love, and loss just as any other person does. When you read accounts of violence, injustice, or oppression in those texts and justify them, yet react with emotion when seeing similar acts in real life or in movies, it becomes obvious that religion has warped your sense of morality.
What is the ultimate standard for determining good and bad?

Exactly my point... They did nothing and you can't tell me what they did either... And yet you justify their extermination...

You see how religion is messed up?

You see how you shifted accountability to conclude slavery would never stop, just so you could state that man's effort to make life better is futile...



Slavery was justified by Christian enslavers and when the slaves began revolting and not adhering to "slaves obey your masters" slavery stopped.

They didn't wait for God's Kingdom to come, it was a response to a reality... Instead of dealing with situations around you to make it better, you rather do nothing but wait until God's Kingdom come...
Re: When People Die. Where Do They Go. I Want To Know. by MaxInDHouse(m): 3:13pm On Nov 26, 2025
Surely my guy you don't know the real meaning of SLAVERY!🙂

So you think slavery has ended because the traders restructured the setting.

Well if you must know slavery has been rebranded from the old style and today it has been modernized therefore what you think has ended still continues but in a new form!🙂

You failed the test. You aren't human.



When it was an analogy of man pillaging and murdering to the happiness of his tribe, you were quick to say a good fellow would not partake in enjoying the spoils, but as soon as it was God in the mix, then it's good that they are exterminated.

Well, some people are killing and pillaging according to their God's commandments... Hope you don't condemn them either

Slavery didn’t end because God suddenly condemned it; it ended because people finally opened their eyes, questioned the cruelty they had normalised for centuries, revolted against it, and refused to keep playing along with a system that treated humans like property. If humanity had stayed quiet, obedient, and gullible, the same “format of slavery” would have continued without interruption, because nothing in the religious texts was going to magically rewrite itself. It was human conscience, not divine intervention, that killed that version slavery, and the moment people became aware, responsible, and unwilling to be controlled, the whole structure collapsed under the weight of its own wickedness.


What happened to your version of slavery cuz that wasn't what I was talking about.
Re: When People Die. Where Do They Go. I Want To Know. by MaxInDHouse(m): 3:45pm On Nov 26, 2025

Please when and how did such a thing ended on planet earth?🙂

Now you are talking!🙂

The inhabitants of Canaan were burning babies in fire as sacrifice to Molech {Leviticus 18:21; Deuteronomy 12:31} this is what Satan initiated in the garden of Eden making humans to believe that they can live like God doing whatever they wish to their yet unborn generation Satan knew this will taunt the Creator {Genesis 6:6} who made humans and gave them the authority over all other creatures on planet earth! Genesis 1:26-28
This act is what makes God to send His worshipers to exterminate Canaanites and occupy that place.

They were worshiping Molech burning their babies in fire and for centuries none of them thought of ending this evil rather they continue practicing it thinking Molech is blessing them.

So to prove that Molech is nothing but a demon God issued a warning to all the inhabitants of Canaan through what He did to the world's most powerful nation back then (Egypt) which Canaanites themselves feared but instead of them to flee knowing that another God who is higher than all the Gods of Egypt is coming with His worshipers Canaanites decided to fight.

Check the screenshot below or search on Wikipedia for (Worship of Molech in ancient Canaan) the idol in the screenshot extending its hand will not collect the babies but the child will fall into it's bosom in which fire keeps burning by the priests of Molech.

Now judge for yourself. Do you think such evil people deserve to continue existing back then?🙂

We believers in the Bible God did a lot of investigations before we concluded that He is the one and only true God!🙂
