Life is Precious

Never Forget

This life may be our only chance to experience it. If there's no existence beyond this one, we should make the most of it: savor every moment, appreciate its beauty, and strive to make each day one to be proud of. While we can't dictate how you live your life, we urge you to consider the impact your actions have on others. Every life is precious, and it's essential to respect and not harm another person's existence.

Not having a higher power to answer to in the afterlife doesn't give us a free pass to live without accountability. Committing a crime may not be a sin against a deity, but it's certainly a harm against humanity. Some argue that without an afterlife, people might engage in heinous acts like rape, robbery, or murder. However, many individuals who don't believe in God still adhere to a strong moral code, choosing not to harm others simply because it's the right thing to do.

The notion that "they'll get what they deserve in the end" or "God will sort it out" often reflects a failure to take personal responsibility. If we consider a world without a deity, it becomes clear that no one faces judgment or consequences for their actions after death. Conversely, if God does exist, we might assume that such a being is indifferent to our existence, leaving us without accountability. Even in the scenario where God is fully aware of every deed, there is no assurance that divine judgment aligns with human moral standards. For those who rely on the Ten Commandments as divine law, it’s crucial to ponder whether God adheres to the same ethical framework, especially considering instances of destruction depicted in religious texts -- like killing the innocent first born children of an entire country in retribution for the actions of one man. Cruel and petty by anyone's standards. Ultimately, we must navigate moral responsibilities in our own lives rather than defer them to a higher power.

Humankind holds the unique responsibility to safeguard our existence and ensure that everyone has the chance to experience life to its fullest. Individuals who perpetrate crimes and disrupt the peace deserve to face quick and severe consequences for their actions. It is crucial to protect those who value life and strive for a harmonious society, allowing them to thrive and contribute positively. Our time on this planet is finite, and with each passing moment, the urgency to prioritize peace and well-being grows. While our bodies and minds may age differently, some may leave this world too soon others will linger far longer than necessary, it is our collective duty to create a safe environment where we can all flourish together. No matter the amount time we have, there will be no other time beyond the here and the now -- Protect it.
