I usually just laugh inside, knowing that it is simply self delusion, but I just saw this cute cartoon and it struck me that if we are simply god's pets and our purpose is simply to praise him for all eternity, then it's not reassuring to have such a purpose, it's degrading.
You need to show that Christians are pets, your assumption is not humorous it's pathetic. We are children of God and will live with Him for eternity. The purpose God gives Christians, is to be part of His plan, to redeem those who desire to know God. God brings into our lives spiritual purpose that covers a huge variety of things to do and our accomplishments are spiritual. We do have to manage our lives in this world and God helps us through life as long as we will accept, we are not to be involved in worldly things that would take us from our spiritual endeavors with God. God gives us spiritual insight into life's purpose and guidance in living that life with purpose.

Why do you have such a desire to be subservient?
