How Does Your Religion Sum Up Life?

[Jimmy]

Jesus died, was risen from the grave, is now in heaven and will return. I think this exquisitely portrays life. Is there an idea in your religion that sums up life in one sentence?​

Existence is trying to know itself, and the universe is a canvas it paints us on. I don't think the universe is fundamental to existence. People call it Brahman, but I don't buy into that. The eternal reality has qualities and attributes that simply exist.

The eternal reality has qualities and attributes that simply exist.

What are they?

Deal differently with different aspects and learn to do that.

 

[Balthazzar]

We're given life, we fall, we find a compatible mate, we work hard, become fruitful, we stumble as we go and find joy in the good things, we face death, our lives are examined, we are judged, then a decision is made about what type of life comes next (as a new "born again" creation).

That sums it up nicely.

 

[osgart]

What are they?

The same as the qualities and attributes that conscious life has. I think it's mainly non living intelligence systems spawned from intellect perhaps. There's two kinds of intelligence; one is intellect, and the other is the non living systemic kind. Life has dimensions that people think they have a handle on explaining, but really have to be experienced to be known of, and they exist beyond comprehensibility. The eternal reality is an environment beyond physical description. The soul can't be measured by weight, volume, mass or any of that.

Which life?

I don’t think life or eternal reality is beyond comprehension. We live on earth which exists in an infinite universe. I don’t think there’s anything really mysterious about it. Still it doesn’t take away from its awesomeness.
