Yes of course. Besides...It wouldn't really matter to me as a christian because the only way to prove to a christian that God does not exist is to have God himself come down to proclaim it. If you don't understand what I just said, I'm basically saying that a christians belief in God is by faith not by sight . Thus God will always exist for me because faith is something you either have or don't have. It's something you must develop on your own through sound reasoning.The only way for me to truly find out if God exist is if I were to die and find out in the after life...but then again if there were no God there would be no after life for me to discover. I'd just be a dead waste of matter. Thus for me, my life will always have a purpose because I will always believe in God regardless of the circumstance you are speaking of.

Oh and BTW, christians aren't the only ones who believe in God so you might want to rephrase your question unless your trying to imply that christians are the only believers on this earth that seem to have purpose.

“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell (philosopher, mathematician and atheist)

So the truth is that there can be no real purpose without a Creator. What many people do is to seek feelings and not truth and so the pursuit of purpose becomes the pursuit of some kind of good feelings. In this world view, truth and feelings become more or less interchangeable.

To think that you can have purpose without God is to exchange the truth for a lie.

i've got faith the debate isn't among "Christians" yet against society rejecting non secular involvement in something. If it wasn't pushed by ability of scripture (which actual Christians have faith) and did no longer advance Christ's existence, i do no longer have faith it can be a difficulty. diverse variations of the Bible (NLT, KJV, NIV, NSAB, etc.) have diverse verses which you will some who could basically study a Catholic Bible or the KJV, tney will possibly no longer believe what the author says.

You know, that's pretty sad that you haven't gotten a single answer from any Christian on this site.

(not Christian, btw)

There is a God, so I'm not even going to go there.
