Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

[Rampant.A.I.]

Most theists that I've known and I think most of the theists on this board believe that God gives their lives meaning.
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.

Sounds like you look forward to being God's lapdog, licking him for all eternity and begging for treats.

Because thinking is hard.

Serving God doesn't mean we are puppets or don't think. When you work for someone, you decide to serve that person. We're thinking people who make our own choices, and we choose to serve God, and in doing so, to serve others. Many people believe in a specific cause and they serve that cause. Many people serve themselves and it leads to no good for themselves or for anybody else.

Your lack of understanding simple scientific principles is evidence enough you don't want to think, and want to be a sheep who is told what to do, how to think, and never critically examine what you're told.
