WHERE DO PEOPLE COME FROM?

God creates us.

ARE WE JUST A CHEMICAL MACHINE TRAPPED IN THIS MATRIX?

No. Every human life is sacred and a unique creation of God's.

HAS LIFE ANY SENSE?

Yes. God gives us meaning to life. When we follow His plan, life is fulfilling.

AND WHERE DO WE GO?

I assume you are asking where we go when we die? After death, our souls will go to one of three places:

Heaven, Purgatory, or Hell

Hell is eternal separation from God and torment. Those who die in a state of mortal sin will have chosen their eternal destiny in hell.

Heaven is eternal joy in the presence of God. Those who die in a state of grace will eventually go to heaven, however, due to our imperfections, most will need to endure purgatory first.

Purgatory is a cleansing state whereby God perfects us to make us worthy to enter heaven.
