What is the Point of All of This?

You know, I've been thinking, "What is Minecraft supposed to be about, what is the story behind the game?" I've read several accounts as to what the back story behind the game is, and I agree to a point with some of them. The best one I've read can be seen here: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/A_Short_Minecraft_Rant. However, I have a bit different view as to what this game could really mean behind the scenes.
I think that Minecraft is a purgatory state for your character. I can't figure out what Steve would be in this state for, but you can't deny that in singleplayer survival mode you will always be alone, like in the Minecraft creepypasta above. Anyway, I believe that he is living in the nether, basically, but instead of being in hell itself, he's in the waiting room. He died and now he can't escape the world that he is in. Why else would you be allowed to respawn as many times as you want (Hardcore mode doesn't count people).
I also believe that the reason he died was due to a zombie apocalypse or something along those lines, and that watched his friends get turned into zombies, and they in turn killed him.. The reason I theorize this is because that the only living things, besides animals, you can interact with are the monsters in the game and villagers. The zombies and skeletons are the friends that he watched change and was killed by, and he is now forced to live with them trying to kill him again night after night, death after death, with the villagers unable and unwilling to help him.
What do think the story behind this is? Do you agree with me or do you think I've gone insane? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for reading and see you later!
