Sound like a decadent life denying mindset you have there. What is the point of a life sans death and pain?

>What is the point of a life sans death and pain?
Ever-unfolding happiness

>>15343130
Yes so please try to love him back. That's this hard part

>>15343096
>and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.
So what do you do when everything is good?
What will you live for?
It's literally a non-existence.
It's just a book, get over it.
Monoteism is the cope of historical losers.
We human beings are probably just a mere biological mistake made by other creatures who created everything on this planet just because they could.
Reality is the illusion, while illusion is the True Reality.
But who am i to destroy your beautiful fantasy world ruled by good and evil with happy endings.

>>15343130
Yes, He does.

>>15343180
What is happiness when it is perpetual? What meaning and purpose does it serve? Anyone living in this world will get bored. Eve ate the apple most likely out of boredom because eternal happiness sans conflict is the same as being dead.

>>15343180
This.

Follow the Eightfold Path.

Praise dhamma.

If happiness isn’t accompanied by sorrow, both cease to have any meaning

>>15343130
Yes

Well, the life-denying part comes from the fairytale. When actual life gets hard, the believer in afterlives simply looks forward to his death, which he has been tricked into believing is eternal life. Which his childish mindset hasn’t really considered n full.
This mindset leaves the world as broken as ever and open to further degradations. And so it was and so it is. We face imminent extinction, anon.
Stop denying actual life.

>>15343096
Imagine finding consolation in such an empty promise

>>15346374

Reading comprehension question:
"WIPE AWAY all tears", "NO MORE death (sorrow, etc)", "FORMER things PASSED away". Shouldn't it be interpreted that these wordly things and sad feelings actually come to pass but God's grace removes them shortly (purgatory) / immediately upon death?
It's not like death and pain do not occur. It's just that there's something to take comfort afterwards.

A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”

23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

You understand nothing of what you just mentioned there. Okay? You’ve swallowed some pretty heavy propaganda and can’t see a damned thing. Seek the truth for your own sake.

>God so understood is not something posed over against the universe, in addition to it, nor is he the universe itself. He is not a “being,” at least not in the way that a tree, a shoemaker, or a god is a being; he is not one more object in the inventory of things that are, or any sort of discrete object at all. Rather, all things that exist receive their being continuously from him, who is the infinite wellspring of all that is, in whom (to use the language of the Christian scriptures) all things live and move and have their being.
