    Life is only chemistry. There is no supernatural. There is nothing special about humans. We are completely insignificant and have no purpose. There is no afterlife, no destiny, no divine.

    I encourage you to become a Christian. I would suggest reading some of C.S. Lewis's books on Christianity as one way to begin. Another would be going to a local church and talking with the priest/minister.

    Why not a large number of friendly, experienced young ladies?

    Well apparently Jihading doesn't leave a lot of time for more...ehem...social experiences and the holy warriors wouldn't want to be, you know, embarrased in their...shall we say, lack of knowledge?

    This is a fair assessment thus I agree.
    There is nothing special about humans.
    I disagree with this one. We are highly ordered; that makes us very special.
    We are completely insignificant and have no purpose.
    Compared to the rest of the universe, yes. It's the ultimate paradox: the farther we move away from earth, the less significant we become. We are significant on Earth though
