Why are we like this??? WhY!??? (see details)?

Question

If we are not gonna be here on earth forever... like what Rick Warren said, it's just a "temporary assignment" Why do we act so worldly... like, living on earth focusing on how can we PLEASE OTHERS, BECOME FAMOUS, LIVE RICH, ENTER HIGH RENOWNED SCHOOLS, WORK TOO MUCH, AND SO ON.... Why can't we just help other people, understand each other, and HELP OTHERS BECOME CLOSER TO GOD and NOT BECOME "TOO ATTACHED" with this FLEETING things and soon will pass...?? why!?!?!? Can we bring our wealth when we die? Of course not... Then why are we like this? IS THIS LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ETERNAL LIFE THESE TIMES?

Answer 1

Since there is no such thing as an "afterlife," this is the one to be concerned with. Get over yourself.  

And stop shouting. It's rude.

Answer 2

atheist; "ther is no god. this world is all there is."  

Answer 3

You can help others and still enjoy life....i do.

Answer 4

I agree; good points.

Answer 5

Who's Rick Warren.

Answer 6

Because some people can only believe in what they see and what gives them instant gratification, this is the REAL world for them.  

Answer 7

Because there is nothing after this life.  Get used to it.

Answer 8

i agree... we shouldn't fashion ourselves with worldly things.. it prevents us from growing spiritually.....

Answer 9

Because that's your private little delusion.  Most of us live in the real world.  I work to enjoy life, and contribute in my own small way to the progress of our species.

Answer 10

Well,

Why would we want to live like bums for 70 years?Yeah,im hoping there is something after this.Its pretty scary to think that this is it,theres nothing after you Die.If i were to live this 'life' without going to college,getting a good job..than it would be pretty hard to live in this life.Talk about h**l man..this 'earth' probably is h**l lol.If God is real,than im sure he has something awaiting another 'task' for us,if he is not real than I still think theres something after this,phisically we might not be here but we have a spirit and I think that'll be somewhere no matter what is real or not.I probably have no idea what Im talking about, the fact that im only 14,lol.

    Still have some sort of opinion though

Answer 11

We are down on earth with wordly distractions.

Answer 12

I dont really listen to what Rick Warren says much since his church teaches that my church is evil.

Answer 13

Well then ... you could start by giving me all your "fleeting attachments!" =)

Answer 14

Turn the Caps Lock off, then retype the question and please, sustain your dignity.  

Answer 15

Because there's no such thing as "god" or eternal life.  I prefer reality, thanks.

Answer 16

i think you caps lock button is broken

Answer 17

Holy c**p!  Between the random caps, the abused triple periods, the intermittent question marks intertwined with the exclamation points and the rest of the rant, I think I've gone cross eyed
