<-----------hanging head in shame....sigh I hate to say this but I agree with Seeker...
Life is to be lived...enjoyed...experienced...be happy and make others happy...be the best person you can be...what more can you ask of life?
Oh and Dave men have nipples because women like to have something to play with too!
Creation and design had no purpose behind it?
Out of thin air all we see just happened?
There is no purpose...we just ended up this way
Get real!
Common sense tells any thinking person someone put us here.
Some big powerfull guy in the sky getting a kick out of what he made and how they would handle themselves?
If he put the wonderment of design in all he made......why would he bail on us and go do something else and forget about us?

Does your pet have a purpose in life?
My purpose in life is to find out why men have breasts.

Gumby, I've concluded that maybe humans choose the wrong analogy
when it comes to God.
You see design in living things and say "Well, that means a person
with a brain designed that living thing".
Now, all the while you say this, a thousand, maybe a million
different systems are purposefully at work in your body, creating
and repairing and adjusting - all without any conscious brain
guiding them. Your heart and lungs work without thinking about
it - red blood cells are created and destroyed without thought,
and so on.
So, why not accept the universe as being like the body,
automatic in function, no conscious thinking necessary
to make it work continuously? It's just a vast, spooky
non-local mechanism that needs no conscious direction,
just like the body.
Actually, this image of "God" must be closest to the truth
because the consciousness we think is all important, is
very limited. You can think about only one thing at a time.
Even if can "chew gum and walk" at the same time, it still
involves switching your limited attention back and forth
between activities.
There was a cartoon in which God answers a huge battery
of phones, grabbing each one briefly and putting it down
quickly after saying "Hello, this is God, can you hold?"
That sums it up pretty well
and it's why I am a pantheist

No, it does not.
We may have been put here by someone, or we may not have. If we have, then perhaps there is a purpose to life and he or she ain't talking. If we have not, then there really is no purpose to life.
Either way could be valid.
Xean,
Im not even going to say what I am thinking but I appreciate your input.
Damn, I guess I can't say anything that doesn't have a double meaning when it comes to a topic that has any sexual connotation on this board. Either that or it's about time I start looking for a girlfriend. What the hell, I guess two years of complete sanity and happiness is enough for one guy.

What is the purpose of a Lion's Life? A lamb's life? A dog's life?
What was the purpose of the life of the gentle Maiasaur, the "good mother" duck-billed dinosaur that protected it's young?
What was the purpose of the life of the Trilobites, who ruled the early oceans five times longer than the dinosaurs ruled the earth?
The purpose is to enjoy what life you have and to project your genetic code into the future, so that it will become the next big thing.
Long after the next extinction event, an as-yet unseen appendage will hold a fossil human skull and gazing upon it, something will ask, "What was this? What did it do?"
My purpose in life is to pay homage at the Italian shoe clad,silver voiced Andrea Bocelli.......but thats just me :> T
Vive Bene
Spesso L'amore
Di Risata Molto!!!
My purpose?
To discover new worlds, seek out strange new life forms, to boldly go where no man has gone before!
Well yeah, it does sound a little bit like Star Trek, but hey I only watch it. I don't have pointed ears or run around with my tricorder trying to understand everything, well okay maybe a little, but I don't always go to each Star Trek convention, only some of them.
Actually, I like what Albert Einstein once said about the purpose of religion and it went something like this...The goal of religion is to free yourself from your selfish desires and help your fellow man. Too bad religions seldom practice this.
But anyway, can't say much more as I gotta run and save another universe from going down in flames but hope I catch you on the high frontier some day.
