Why would Satan want souls? What use are they to him?

What you are saying is there is no [reason] for life, except to die. And that there was no basis we are brought into being.
This may be the most dangerous part of religion, in my mind. The idea that life has some kind of greater meaning that can only be fully attained after our life is over. It gives people a reason to live a simple and complacent life regardless of circumstances and to avoid ambition or the motivation to constantly improve themselves and their lifestyle. Far too many people give up on the only life they'll ever have because they think there's a much greater life that will begin when they die. That's tragic, IMO.

I can see your point. And unfortunately many do feel that way. But, we are also co-creators with God. I have a few kids. And they will have children, as will their children...etc. This is important to me, as an earthly father and a spiritual being.

I believe that being here is a gift. The gift of Life! And the choices we make in this life on earth are far reaching. So, I don't take this life lightly. Nor, the purpose and responsibility of it.

There is no reason why it should be logical to expect there to be some greater, overarching meaning to the existence of the universe, or of Earth, or of humanity. As we search for the "how" of the universe it is possible we will uncover a "why." But making up a "why" because we don't understand the "how" is not a way to make progress, it's just a shortcut, and it can be an obstacle towards a better understanding of our world and universe.

Why not greater?

Just because we don't know something; means its not possible to have higher thoughts, or that we are overarching meanings of things?

Albert Einstein said, "We know nothing about [God, the world] at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren. Possibly we shall know a little more than we do now. but the real nature of things, that we shall never know, never."
