WHERE DO PEOPLE COME FROM?God creates us.
ARE WE JUST A CHEMICAL MACHINE TRAPPED IN THIS MATRIX?
No. Every human life is sacred and a unique creation of God's.
HAS LIFE ANY SENSE?
Yes. God gives us meaning to life. When we follow His plan, life is fulfilling.
AND WHERE DO WE GO?
I assume you are asking where we go when we die? After death, our souls will go to one of three places:
Heaven, Purgatory, or Hell
Hell is eternal separation from God and torment. Those who die in a state of mortal sin will have chosen their eternal destiny in hell.
Heaven is eternal joy in the presence of God. Those who die in a state of grace will eventually go to heaven, however, due to our imperfections, most will need to endure purgatory first.
Purgatory is a cleansing state whereby God perfects us to make us worthy to enter heaven.
