What is the purpose of human life?
If there is no God, why do we have to live then? 'Cause we don't live forever, and if there is no God, we have got nothing to look forward to after death?

We were created by God,
to worship him,
love each other,
procreate and,
take care of this Beautiful planet,
He created specifically for us.
After death, we have the hope of the Resurrection.
To live forever in a paradise earth.
Under perfect conditions.

We were created by God.How do you explain that none of us have the same finger prints? How do you explain a Platypus? AND other weird things in nature.No Human can possibly have created this no big explosions could have created this. God created Adam and Eve to represent him on earth(Genesis 1:26). We are his children and our Purpose is to love and honour him.and when we love and honour him we will love and honour our neighbour.If you know God and you believe in God you will live forever, not on earth but with God in the spiritual world.Who wants to live forever on earth anyway with all the pain and suffering going on here. After death you can look foward to a everlasting life with God where there is no pain and only joy and where you would want to live forever.

Firstly,humans and everything else on the face of this Earth are created by God. If u feel that God doesn't exist, how do u explain the very existence of this Earth, the sky , the sea n evrythin else?I'm sure they are not man-made.Even before technology exists, all these creations haf been explained in holy books such as the Quran.
We are borned into this world for the sole purpose of being good and doing good. My faith teaches me dat there is life after death and we will be judged after we die. If there is no judgement day, the person who does good while he is alive, got to be the stupidest person.Why would i wana work so hard to earn a living?I might as well rob or be a streetwalker cos at the end of it all, i will die and i'm not gona be answerable for the things i did wen i was alive.So there u haf it.We live this life to do good cos we will be judged after we die.

My views.....God created us....our purpose is to create/love God and each other right back. Think about the universe, it's still expanding. So, creation is happening even if we did not procreate, even if there were no life forms here. We have to live to learn lessons of love and so we do have so much to look forward to. Life is short, so we should do the best we can with it and try to limit the amout of selfish/egocentric acts as possible. But, of course, we all make mistakes. Thanks for the questions....very deep questions.
Peace, Love, and Blessings

Human life as far as we know was given to us by someone up above for us to use. They say it was given to us to change someone's life for the better. Everything has a purpose they say, that only means that you are given the chance to live for something and specially for someone who is meant for you. No one knows what waits for us after death but is it better to use the life given to us in a meaningful way.. who knows if there is really a GOD then it makes him happy and satisfied for giving you a chance to live even just once.

I don't know about you, but I was created by my mother and father.
why are we here? to find our own meaning, our own path, and pursue it.
in my view, if you're living for an afterlife that may not exist, you're shortchanging yourself in this life (and before anyone rolls out the usual Christian rebuttals - life without your god/afterlife/etc does not mean running around hedonistically, with anarchy. maybe your religion is all that keeps you in line, but the rest of us can behave ourselves without being frightened into it).
if you genuinely have nothing to look forward to except death, I pity you.

I was created by my parents. I am not aware of the exact details of my creation. (You generally don't ask for details like that.)
I guess we're alive to carry on the human species. For those who aren't raising families, I guess we're supposed to provide services to those who do.
As far as what happens after we die, I'll give the general answer of "beats me".

And you think forever alive as you are now is tolerable.
I mean, when will you start to get bored. After a billion years? A billion, billion? A billion, billion, billion, billion?
And thats just the beginning of eternity.

We are here because the Earth needed PLASTIC and couldn't make it for itself.
