Yes.
If I can raise one question in one believer's mind that takes him down a non-fundamentalist path, I will have made the world a better place.

Some of us are here to better ourselves and help others, but there are some who seem to think that they are better than everyone else.

Our first purpose would be to do the will of God. That entails making this world better through helping others.

No we are born individuals we are here to support that 1st, helping others is one way of getting your personal needs met. Imagine having to raise your own wool, and sew your own clothes out of that wool, you would work all year for one outfit! You have all this free time to read this because we all helped you free up some time.

Anything is possible. I feel when people help others, it makes for a better world, regardless of their motives or beliefs.

We are here for one reason, to learn about God, to believe, and to tell the world about Him. In the process, our lives will be better, as God makes them better. But, its not about me or you or anyone else. Its about God, and getting the word out that Jesus sacrificed for us, unto death. and we are to sacrifice for Him, by loving Him enough to obey Him, Know He is real and telling the world about Him, and by living this truth ourselves. Anytime we give out, we receive more than we give out. BUt, thats not why we do it. We do it cuz God says to love as He loves and there you go.

Actually only a man who believes in God or has a reason from Him in his mind could help the other (good help)without asking him some money.

That sums it up.
But I would say we are here to realize who we really are and help others do the same.

I believe that we are here to prove our worth. God has already experienced fellowship with one that turned against him (Lucifer). Now he has created us so that we can fellowship with him. But, before we can, we must show him that we trust him when we can't see him. Also, he allows us to show that we are trustworthy with the things he gives us, as well as showing we place him above those things we desire to have. This proves our faith.

i certainly think that is one reason I am here.
i certainly cannot comment on why others are here, because we all have our own lives and our own goals in life.
