Why would you want more than this life?

Isn't this life enough for you? You might not have even been born at all. But here you are. Living. If you're reading this, it's likely you're not in dire straights just struggling to find food and water. Some people are actually doing that right now today in this modern world. There's 7 billion of us, not everyone gets to eat cheez pips and watch youtube.

But here you are.

To put it more eloquently,

"The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more." - Ayaan Hirsi Ali

    I want God's plan for me. I want the eternal life that He gives to those who have repented of sin.

    John 14:2-3 NKJV

    In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."

    "Quit, don't quit... Noodles, don't noodles... You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."

    "There *is* no secret ingredient. It's just you."

    Is not matter "what we want." It is matter of knowledge of what we are and where we belong. And this Ayaan Hirsi Ali she is an ignorant woman.
