My take is that God is an underlying coherence which allowed everything to make sense. We are part of it. Being alive is terribly important for some reason, like a filter or catalyst, but we really are just along for the ride and creating our own possibilities and purposes as a subset of that coherence. When it comes to making sense of God, or Why, or all the rest of that stuff, well, those are human needs being expressed within the subset. We create our importances and requirements and so on. Sort of like a stained glass artist working with the light of the sun, which is so much more than a source of light through glass. But the artist is important, and the light that is transfigured is important, and in the end there is more to all of it. When I "die" whatever I am part of will be reconstituted in some manner which has been transfigured by my life. And my life will have effect on the form of that transfiguration.
