My purpose for feeling is a bunch of things that I personally love. People have different reasons for living. Goals, dreams, that kind of thing. I have my goals and I live to complete them. The concept of death doesn't particularly bother me, so long as I get to accomplish what I want before that happens. But that's why living is fun.

So you ask what the harm is in murdering people randomly, and I answer you this. By killing people before their time to go arrives, you are not allowing them to do what they really wanted to do. You aren't just "returning them to nothing" you are taking away their purpose. And I'm not saying that you can simply kill someone who has done all he could do, because you see, to people who don't believe in God there is purpose in everything we do.

Just being there with friends, talking, laughing, having fun is something that's worth not for the sake of something else, but for itself. It can't last forever, but just living is...enjoyable. I find meaning in that.

We are not resisting theft for nothing.

Let me put it this way. You say that it's the same as always being dead since the ending is always the same, but that's not the point.

It's like being given the choice of having your big TV screen stolen now or after the Superbowl. The end result is the same but goddamn it having the TV for that game was nice. That TV is your life, and the game is your time on earth.
