If I believe in a God who desires the best for those whom He loves, and if I believe in a heaven that is better than earth, and if I believe what I believe will get me there when I am no longer here, then I must believe that I am not here for me. If I were the whole point of my life, I may as well move on to the afterlife, where my personal satisfaction will be maximized. But, God, who desires what is best for those whom He loves, has not yet chosen for me a place better than earth. My being here must somehow contribute to His plan for the best for those others whom He loves. I must believe I am not here for me.
