if humans are born to live but are all going to die, then what's the point of trying to live?

there is no point sadly

Until recently the best answer the vast majority of people could give was some BS about "god"

I can't say, personally. Some people value religion, altruism, relationships, or the earth itself as reasons to want to live.
I often find myself asking the same question, and also the reverse of your question, too - 'if there's no point to life, why am I in a hurry to die?'

I don't really have an answer to either.

Because most people enjoy their lives to some degree?

That's something I've always question, no matter what we do or how hard we try the result is the same dying so I think that is a good thought to calm ourselves whenever we're really ready to ctb.

To make the world a better place for future generations - that's my go to answer. There's really no set reason why anything exists, we don't know why we are here, why other animals are here, why planets are here, why the universe exists, why anything exists basically.

The way I see it, there is no point to living. Life is just a pointless experience that we go through for the sake of it, we are only here because people decided to selfishly procreate. All that humans are doing is waiting around for death, which is inevitable for us all. Life is completely unnecessary and I believe that life should not be a thing in the first place. Life is horrifying because of the extreme amount of suffering. I am only still here because ctb is so difficult. Everyday I think about how pointless this all is. I long to escape a future filled with misery. In this life, nothing really matters. Things may appear to matter to us in the short term, but all our problems will die with us. Anyone who believes that life has any meaning must be delusional.
