Everyone’s faith is different, everyone is going to believe in what they want. I just have one question; what kind of life do you desire to live when all you know is that you will one day die? What kind of joy would that bring you? To desire nothing more than knowing that nothing is worth anything, and nothing that happens has a purpose? Sad life, really.
