As far as I'm concerned, life is not a test. There is just way too much other stuff in the universe for it to have all been made by a divine being(s) for no other purpose than for us to be able to look up at night and say "Ooooh, Pretty!"
Of course I couldn't help but notice that the majority of the conversation in this thread has been around the Christian faith, with some karmic influence.
My first objection to the basis of the Christian reward system, You have to believe in Christ to get into paradise, so basically their saying that God would send the kindest, gentlest, most self-sacrificing, and law abiding person on the planet to hell for all eternity because he didn't believe in him. That kinda goes against my definition of a kind, loving, and forgiving God.
Of course no one has brought up Buddhism, where the ultimate reward for gaining enlightenment and living a good life is oblivion.
