If most people would find little contentment in simply existing for eternity, then why aren’t we looking for something more significant?

What would our species find to be acceptable, challenging, inspiring for ourselves?

Atheism brings us the significance of just existing a short time with no purpose other than existing a short time.

We have awareness of our impact for a short period and then our awareness is gone forever.

The perception generated is that we as a species should take actions for the short term, for the results of these actions are the only ones we will be able to observe.

Under classical/traditional theism, our awareness extends into eternity.

Not only do we exist, but we exist eternally. As such, we see ourselves as needing to behave accordingly.

Our significance has been elevated and along with it, our behavior towards each other has been elevated.

But let’s not forget that under classical/traditional theism, the Causative Force is not truly omnipresent; She excludes the universe.

What would happen to our behavior if we understood ourselves to exist within the Causative Force, if we understood we were a piece of the Causative Force?

Is it possible we might generate a leap in our behavior?
