The thing is though dok religion in my experience wasn't always about happiness. Though I know there are many who promote this idea. I guess they think if they can get people to believe they can always be happy, it might be more enticing or something. I know I wasn't always happy. Sometimes I was down right PO'd. LOL The difference for me was that I had somewhere to let those feelings out. That seemed to help me a lot. Though it certainly didn't create any sense of perfect happiness for me. Now there was a joy of some sort that came into my life from believing I had a purpose. That all the bullcrap that happened to me could actually be turned and used for good. I guess maybe it still could be. *shrugs*

Heph
That's pretty much how I feel. It makes me feel good to think I may have a purpose in life.
Sometimes we need something to help pick ourselves up and it always helped me feel better.

Look at your life objectively, and decide for yourself what your purpose should be. Worked for me.
I am never unhappy or depressed, although I do still get pissed off sometimes Razz

Smile I don't think it's bad to want to feel like there is a purpose for us. Believing that is what gave me the strength to keep going for so long. Questioning it has left me feeling very weak and vulnerable at times. I'm sure I'll sort through this with time. Who knows... maybe I can be a little more objective now! :wink:

It's hard to explain, but what harm does it do as long as it doesn't harm anyone?

I also dream about hitting the lottery and even though I know it's likely that I'll never hit, there's still that chance Razz

That being? How do you hope to realize the promise given to Adam and Eve? Why would it be applicable to you?
Some folks make a good argument that the promise was intended for all humans. Ugly as I am, I think I may be considered human.

ER, I hope.

Hypothsis: The Scientific Search for the Soul" reveals that we do have a soul and we are born with a moral code,

Now there is some research I would be VERY interested in seeing.
I wonder what methods he used to test for 'soul'
I wonder how he defines 'moral code' and further how he demonstrates it is innate (Although for the record I do think we are born with behavioral traits, but I'm not prepared to prove it)
Very interesting stuff.
Who are you quoting, Dok? For what it's worth, Genesis explains that we do not have souls, we are souls, as are animals.

. . . Why did God not just kill them all off in the first place then neo? What's the point of keeping them around if they are eventually not going to be around anyway? To torment the unsuspecting? To mess with people's minds? This really does not make any sense to me.
Are you happy to have been born? If Adam and Eve had not lived, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Additionally, there are issues involving the rightfulness of God's sovereignty that have yet to be resolved.

Ok explain this if you can:

About two weeks after I got "saved" I began to doubt that I had made the right decision. That I was doing the right thing. My "salvation experience" was less than extraordinary. I decided to go for a walk and be alone for awhile. As I was walking I was questioning everything my heart. Wondering if I had made the right decision. These two women jogged past me and one of them stopped and said, "Hey." I turned around and looked at her thinking, "What in the world could this woman want with me?" I my life was a total train wreck at that point in my life and I didn't trust anyone.

She came walking back to me, held out her hand, and said, "Hi, my name is Marla. What's your name?" I told her, thinking to myself, "Why couldn't she have just kept jogging?" I was so uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "As I just jogged past you, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and wanted me to tell you that you made the right decision." I was like "uuuh, thanks". Shocked
Interesting, but I would not rely on it.
