Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

[Neo-Scholastic]

I'm using it because I mean it. If you live only to serve yourself, then you don't have any desire to help others in a way that would cause yourself to suffer. I see self-serving people as being selfish people. The fact that we might do something for ourselves doesn't make us self-serving, but it's when that becomes the focus of our lives. The focus of a christian's life is serving God and, in following his teachings we also serve others. Loving God also means loving others.

What makes you think that you don't only serve yourself? Your entire life revolves around how you appear in your god's eyes so you can look like a holy servant. Your life is just as self-serving as anyone else's, because every action you take is to craft a self-image.

Apparently you do not believe people can act purely out of love. That's a very cynical and sad view.
