What's the point of life?

I'm not an expert on this type of thing, but I just wanted to share a few ideas.

What if the point of life is to unite people of all races, creeds, and backgrounds? What if the point is to hate everyone who is different than you, because you were each sent here by your own god. and all the gods are at war with each other?

Is there really a heaven, and if so, are there different levels of heaven?

Is there a god? Or have we all just miraculously cropped up here in this form of perfect timing and structure?

If there is a god? and if so is there a hell? Surely, a god wouldn't send us there. After all, he also gave us the capacity to do horrendous things.

There is no end-all answer to any of these questions. That's why I'm asking them. It's uncertain, like so many things in life. I don't have to know everything. You don't have to know everything. Let's take comfort in not knowing, and just wondering,

So my idea is this: I think there is a God, he is one ruling god of all the religions and creeds and races, and he knows that we are all right, but fear has kept us from uniting. Of course, that's pretty vague. Many other things have kept us from uniting, with fear at the root of it. But ultimately, I think the goal is for each person to try and see things the scope of another person, to try to understand someone different than you, and to love them. Also, I believe we are reincarnated. I believe that when we die, we temporarily go to a certain level or strata in heaven, depending on how good we were. Then, at some point, if we choose, we can be reincarnated into any form we want. And of course, once we are conceived in our mother's womb all recollection of past lives is forgotten. But anyway, that's my belief, or what I want to believe. Otherwise, how would life or life after death be any fun, if we were just stuck there, in that one place forever. I always feel the urge to escape, and by gosh, I'm going to want to escape even when I'm in heaven.
