For anyone: What's this life for?

[Nessa]

"There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil."
- Ecclesiastes 2:24

Guess ecclesiastes is gonna be next on my reading list.

Before I became a Christian I'd have said love and spending time with people you care about. Though more than that I saw it as whatever you want it to be, and I didn't have an answer that I felt was good enough.

Now, well I don't have anything profound to say, but I think these are all good answers.

The more I read of the Bible, the more I am stunned by it`s beauty.

K... that verse is simply gorgeous.

Very good book that one, for anyone who has contemplated suicide or gone through an existential crisis.
Just to relate to and the like. Even for Christians, like once you come to Christ, what next? Why should you continue.
Err... if you've seriously contemplated opting out once upon a time that is.

I seriously contemplate opting out, pretty much every day.

Well, maybe not every day. But, y`know, the old "Is it really, really true?" I don`t see this as my faith wavering, I see it as questioning it constantly, keeping it fresh, new. I question everything, I try and see all the possibilities, they all lead back to God for me.
I could be wrong.
But I don`t think I am.
Not about my faith in Christ anyway.

I love God.
He loves me.

Maybe God is an illusion, maybe reality is an illusion, maybe everything we see and feel is an illusion. Maybe we are all some virtual reality characters. Anything is possible.

God makes the most perfect sense to me, so I`ll go with that one.

Doubt is just the other side of the coin of faith.
