purpose for your lives, then you're just food for worms. Well, at least worms don't ask themselves "What is the meaning of life?" Lucky them...
Before you start answering: don't give me the evolution thing, 'cause you don't know where it is going, anyway.

For God's sake, people, I didn't say that I was a Christian! I never said anything about me reading the Bible (I didn't read it, anyway), and I don't go to church! Stop assuming things! I just asked you a question, that's all.
But, yes, I am a Christian, only that I like to think for myself and I understand God as being cosmic energy, something that we don't understand, and not a person.

It's probably not so much people don't believe in God, what irks people is the association between the word God and the religious dogma attached to it. So many do's and don'ts, it's enough to turn anyone off.
The purpose of peoples lives on this planet has been the major subject of philosophers since the dawn of time. What is right and wrong under the guise of religious dogma has been the cause of wars - since the dawn of time.
The meaning of life is an unanswerable question - you can only ever assume you know according to your own judgement and using the bible. This bible being words interpreted by intellectuals of their time. Much of which is a misinterpreted. It will only ever be your opinion if you think you know the answer to why we are here.
Why are you worried if people don't believe in your idea of God? Some wonderful compassionate, empathetic human beings don't go to church of any kind, and don't read your bible. Yet they are closer to the ideals of a God than those that say they do go to church and read the bible.
Go inside yourself, find your own God and live to what you see as your own integrity. And let others do the same, whatever the outcome. People have the right to believe whatever they want.

I'm here to live my life the way i want. To not be controlled by a cult and base all the decisions of my life around weather or not my god would be happy with me. Evolution has it's flaws, but religion has bigger flaws. No one knows where exactly we came from, but I do have a strong believe that it wasn't ONE MAN that just decided to make us.

I believe in many gods and of course the tripple Goddess.
So im not sure which God or Gods your speaking about..
Although on that note..
I dont think much of worms although they do well with the earth.
And in time we all return to the earth, if our spirits do or not thats another question.

There is no why. There is only the fact that we are here. It has been my goal and should be the goal of everyone to make this world a good place to live for everyone. To strive for an equal and better life for all. To be happy and make happy. To love and be loved.

I have a purpose in life: knocking sense into the lobotomized.
