Wow. And what is there to live for, according to religions?
They’re not entirely all the same answer, but they’re all attempts to answer the same question. No ones religious, because they’re looking to acquire some quasi-scientific fact, but for something to live for.
In my religious view, the answer is something greater than oneself, a sacrificial love, that’s transformative and redemptive, and tragic in our world.
