Christians, Why waste this life?

Why continue to alter your precious time here and now in this short life we have for a hope of another life. Does it make sense that this 50-80 year life is a trial period? You worry so much about a nonexistent afterlife that you don't live the precious one you are so lucky to have.

Update:

But I do Dawn and is my point. I've never been more free. Free from the enslavement that belief brings. Ever research that stuff you've been taught?

Update 2:

Kevin. Thank you for what you do. You know it diesn't require faith to do that, right? But if it is faith in a god that made you care about others, please stick with it.

Update 3:

Supertop. You are right that I cannot know that. I cannot know that bunnies are a creation race of entities either. I take the data presented and believe. I have nothing showing me an afterlife and certainly nothing showing me a god, so I live for this very moment instead

    To have such a loving God and not to love Him in return is the truest waste of life. I am far from miserable as a Christian. I only learned to live when Jesus Christ became my Lord and Savior. And I would love Him, afterlife or not. I am not serving for a wage, but because God is worthy of my love beyond anything or anyone in all creation.

    A big problem with the childish heaven fantasy is it couldn't possibly be true. It's ridiculous to pretend a magical soul magically flies to a magical paradise. It's 100% pure wishful thinking. Zero evidence.

    Imagine the eternal boredom. Why would anyone wish for that?

    I think many Christians don't bother with living a healthy lifestyle to be able to live longer. It's like they want to die because they they think their imaginary 2nd life will be better.

    Every Christian fantasy is insane. Especially magical creation and magical theistic evolution.

    Evolution is natural process. There's nothing theistic about it. And most certainly evolution is true but Christians either deny the whole thing or they stick their dead Jeebus in there somewhere.

    The problem with believing in bullsh*t is it's a waste of a life. These gullible cowards are going to drop dead knowing nothing about reality. And that will be the end of them. They will never know they were wrong about everything because they will be dead.

    Look at all the time they waste praying, going to church, and working to give their hard earned money to the worthless preacher man. It's pathetic.

    As you pointed out they are slaves. They don't have any idea what it's like to be a free person.

    Why do people assume that just because we believe in an afterlife, we therefore treat this life with less respect?

    That's totally ridiculous.

    I believe that this is the only shot we get at this life so I might as well make the most of it.

    Take your argument to nihilists, not me.

    You can not know if an afterlife is nonexistent. Yes, I have researched.
