    Do you believe that everyone on Earth (excluding the aborted fetus factor) has a purpose? I don't mean a predetermination or manufactured destiny, but I mean a reason for being here. I don't necessarily mean a specific purpose, as I believe people determine that for themselves. But is it possible for someone to be here entirely by accident, whose life has no consequence on anything?

    I dont know what I believe on this subject, but I think that people can choose on their own what they want to do with their lives.

    Nothing is by 'accident.'

    you can see meaning in everything if you look for it, your never not supposed to be "here", so anywhere you are, your supposed to be there, some people ignore the synchronocity of life, signs, reminders, or lessons in life...

    I wish I could believe we are here for a purpose but I just can't. I have no faith.

    life is strange. some people have a weird purpose, some have an evil purpose. why not no purpose? a continuum of purpose perhaps....................................................

    No faith in anything? Not necessarily a devine being, but nothing at all?

    Hmm...that's a though...
    But maybe it's just me, but I don't beleive people can have an 'evil' purpose.
    If this was true, Hitler would be doing 'good' in essence because he was created for that...right?

    I don't believe that "everything happens for a reason".


    We're just not that significant in the big picture. Keillor says it in his new book. When we die, we won't leave much of a hole. They will just put us in a hole.

    the purpose of nescessary evil. or the choice of evil making life lack purpose. evil always seems to eat itself eventually

    Each person lives inorder to affect the earth. No, I do not believe that there is a written purpose.

    Yet, each person plays some segnificance to the world, each person affects at least one thing, even the unborn fetus, affects the mother.

    we were all created to be slaves to work in the mines.. we try to perfect ourselves to bring us out of slave concienceness, we were made from the sperm and egg of gods and goddesses in test tubes on a spaceship.. they didn't want to work the mines anymore because it was hard work.. and after all they were god/desses and they shouldn't have to toil in the mines all day.. so they made human beings to do the work.. but they gave us reproductive organs and we multiplied by the score and became many.. we started rebeling, wanting more food and water and more comforts.. we became so unruly that the gods decided to have us wiped out..by flood..but one of the gods told noah, and he built the ark and saved mankind.. the gods and goddess left us behind that's why we pray up to heaven.

    ha. well here goes.

    when it comes to meaning. no if you ask me there isn't anything predestined. it's your own job to build a meaning. when it comes to the occurance of events. things happen cause and effect. the point of it all is to learn from whatever it is. see things might suck but you can always learn something. that's all you can do. learn, but even that's a task in itself. well uh. that's it for me. i could probably go in more, but i dont feel like typing that much right now.
