I question any creator (real or believed in) for allowing my body to exist in this meaningless universe. I loathe existence itself. I'd be better off existing as any other creature than man. Because living as a human being is overrated :)

If you actually do some real thinking, you'll feel the same way at the end.

That is pretty sad.
A happy face ending your human existence in a meaningless universe.

Not understanding Gods purpose of the Universe, is a far cry of the purpose of Earth, and Mankind. Aside from what you can See in the Universe, Earth is Mans Estate/Habitat/ and designed to keep your Body in a natural Living state.

And inanutshell, Creation of Mankind was Not FOR mankind, but rather FOR Gods Pleasure.
It is Gods Pleasure to Have something TO Love...Thus you were born For that Purpose.

Glory to God,

Then I suggest you read the book of ecclesiastes in the bible...it might help you understand the author

After reading the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy....
I thought that this thread was about the answer to life and everything...

My mistake...carry on.

I might just have to disagree with you in this.
There's a book by AW Tozer "Knowledge of the Holy" that discusses God's attributes and leaves the reader with the question of "Why did God create us?"

He certainly didn't need us or was lonely or something else like that.

And the answer truly is that God is good and perfect. But a portion of the definition of "Good" is the forgiveness of sin and transgressions...but to not be destructive while doing so.

And once this was realized God had no one to forgive...for He is infinitely good.
And it became a sort of bound arm struggling to be exercised.

When someone finally figures out how to wiggle their ears...they do so for a while. They invent silly reasons for showing friends and family their new talent. They really have no need to do so...but they exercise those muscles as often as they can should they ever need to do the wiggling. But in truth ear wiggling is not a necessity for daily life...or even recreation.

Same thing with God's need for us. He simply desires us. (He is good after all) And there's a definite end to this "exercise".

And that's how we become the righteousness of God.

He created us to be fruitful and multiply..to rebirth a new world ..God made us in his image...so we should try to be like God and teach our children to be so...

"So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter." Ecc 4:1

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26

Still disagree ;)

I can not recall the Scriptures offhand but it paralleled mankind's basic desire for children...
Something to Love, Give to, Teach, marvel at accomplishments...and the likes.

This sounds like you might need to see a mental health counselor. You're view on humanity isn't a healthy one and needs to be looked at by a professional.

You and I have very different outlooks.
My suggestion to you would be to Reflect on a single moment, in the entire existence of your life, that you were completely; Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul completely Full of Joy...
And Choose that moments feeling To BE Your Forever Possibility.

Glory to God,
Taken

I was a bad person in a previous life. Now I am paying for it.

I have accepted my punishment as fair and just.
