Women at Casinos

[MicroBob]

I haven't been paying much attention to the 'pro-christian vs. anti-christian' aspects of this thread (and have skimmed or entirely skipped many of the posts) but this particular portion did catch my eye:


[ QUOTE ]
He placed us on this Earth for one reason. That reason is to prepare us for eternity. Why do we need to be prepared for eternity? He has a very important task for us to do in eternity. To Give Him Glory.

To put the beginning of this together with the end of this I determine that supposedly the ONLY reason God put someone on earth is to 'give him glory' (love him back I guess).

If that's the ONLY reason God put me on earth then supposedly that means one has NO other reason for existing.
I'm just supposed to walk around all day and worship God over and over.


Sorry....I just think that is a bit stupid.

I admit I am an athiest with not much of an interest in the bible so there are certainly many many aspects of it with which I am not familiar (by my choice) but I do hope and believe that many Christians do not share this similar view that the ONLY reason for existing is because God wants a bunch of people down here worshiping him non-stop.



I respect the wishes of the original poster's friend and his wife to believe in whatever it is they believe. That is why I answered his questions more seriously regarding the atmosphere of a typical casino.

But this bit about a God that just wants everyone to revel in his glory as their sole purpose of existence is really kind of silly.
