    Default Purpose

    If we were created by a God why were we made. Were we made for his pleasure or something else.
    It could be that we are made to destroy or just to ask questions and learn.
    What do you think our purpose is?

    And eat pizza.

    And do both things everyday.

    We dont have a purpose, we just try to survive and meet our needs just like every other animal species. We just develop tons of complexities with our advanced brains. Humans really are no different than other animals, we just think we are.

    That is a good suggestion but Im talking about the universe to here.
    I believe we are to learn as much as we can until we die out.

    We have free will, or at least I do. We can only make our own purposes, we aren't "meant" to do anything except survive.

    Good point but what if we were given free will for a reason that we cannot explain like a test subject so that our creator can learn something

    If we were created by someone or something else, and especially for that reason, would you actually want to fullfil that pupose? You want to be a lab rat, i certainly do not.

    I certainly dont either but I do want to know everything I can that is in my power but then again I am just being greeding and I despise that so I guess that I really want to serve my purpose no matter what it is.

    If we do have a purpose, which we dont then i would be totally indifferent to it, I would create my own purpose either way.

    It probably isn't to procrastinate about it on a forum.

    Ah, but what if your designed purpose is to create your own purpose.... plot thickens...

    But even if that is so, i can still decide my own purpose, and what if god designed me for that purpose but then my purpose became to kill him or something else to defy him in a severe way?

    We are here to glorify God, and have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

    1)If god existed, why would i want to glorify a cruel, self-righteous prick?

    2)Jesus Christ died two thousand years ago...are you saying we are supposed to try and find his body or something?

    Yes, really: are you serious?

    I hope it's a joke.

    EDIT:

    Our purpose, the reason we were born, is that we have our own children someday. Like all other animal species. It's to create the next generations, nothing else. Really, all that is important is that mankind doesn't die out. Sounds pretty wierd, huh? It's true. Stop thinking, go out and eat some pizza.

    And if some guy just begins to go down under because he can't find any purpose in his life: Hand him a slice of your pizza, be a nice guy.

    Seems like a waste of a human, in my opinion.

    The Knight 2100 do you know what happens to religious fanatics like you if you are one. They die for the cause and lose everything or commit suicide because some parinoid creep does not want to die alone. Cwn please say your joking because that would be a waste of a human life.
