The Meaning of Life

To live. The only value of death is to show us how precious life is. The greatest sin is not to live life in all of it's abundance. If you were created in the image of God the you are a creator. So create. If you live your life in fear of punishment or hope of reward you will always be controlled by whoever you accept as an authority.And therefore controls your thinking and your life. Life exist in the moment and anything else is just a though. Be the master of your own thoughts because thoughts become actions and actions habits. These are the things from which religions are born. Religion does not lead one to God but to as set of values defined by whoever claims and receives authority. Some of the worst crimes in history have been committed in the name of religion. Religions are all false because they claim to be able to define God. In doing so the place the Almighty in a box of their own self interest. If they come and say to you I am here or I am there don't believe them. God is as close to you as your breathing, No one can lead you to God because God consumes you. If you are not close to God it is you that has moved.
Finally religion fails to answer the undying question. Why do bad things happen to good people? They promise apple pie in the sky bye and bye if we suffer here on earth. Or they proclaim that God is testing you. As if the Almighty needed to test anyone. Sometime they even admit that they don't know. "It is a mystery" they say. but it was no mystery to Jesus who said God causes it to rain on the just and the unjust.
This guy died and found himself before the throne of God. "So my son" the Almighty ask, do you choose heaven or hell?"
"I thought that that was decided already?"
"Why would you think that? Haven't I always given you a choice?"
"Can I check them out first?
"Sure which do you want to visit first?
'Well since hell does not seem like where I would like to go or so I have been told I'll check it out first."
The man found himself in a large room filled with the smell of Mulligan stew. Around a pot filled with this delicious stew sat thousands starving because their spoons were too long to reach their mouths.
"I don't want to be here!" he cried.
Immediately he found himself in another room filled with the same aroma of Mulligan stew and the thousands that sat around were well fed and happy. Then he noticed that they had the same spoons too long to reach their mouths.
"I don't understand?"
To that he Almighty replied, "They are feeding each other."
