I sometimes wonder that on a Monday morning when i'm at work with a major hangover.
Actually the point of life depends on your perspective towards it.
If you are a downwardly negative person then there is no point to life,you might as well stay in bed till it's all over.Or change your attitude>
By contrast if you are a positive and happy person you will find that life is a great gift of chance.No one truely knows where we came from or why we are here but make the most of your chance.
Life is amazing , live it ...!

Hi!
Well, one of the 'points' about life, is:
Having a free and open mind, to be able to ponder about it, in the first place!
Religious thought, just gets in the way, 'untruths' like this, just confuse humanity, about the reasons, 'why' we are here!
My feelings about it all, is that we are all a part of something a lot bigger, like a small piece of a 'huge' jigsaw puzzle or machine, we are so important, yet we are hardly nothing!
Everything together, we make up the whole!!
It would be easy to say, the answer to your question, is that we are here to reproduce, to be here to just carry on our species ....
But then the question, why? .... Can 'follow' that, again!!!
'What is the point?' or 'Why' are we here? ....
Is actually, the 'biggest' question, you could 'ever' ask and absolutely 'everyone' answering this question, does 'not' know the answer!!!

Ever watch a squirrel? Always busy going from one little morsel to search for the next. That pretty much sums up a squirrel's daytime life.
The people here who say that they are too busy to think about the point of life remind me of squirrels. No time to think deep thoughts, just gotta go and live my life. They gather one little happy feeling and immediately look for the next.

Thats just it. Without God there is no purpose. The Books of Ecclesiastes and Job are perfect examples.
The Bible says that if a man lives two thousand years and has a hundred children that a stillborn child is more blessed than he. Because all the labor of a mans life is just to fill his belly but his appetite is never filled.
We were all put here for ONE reason only:
TO KNOW, LOVE AND SERVE ALMIGHTY GOD FOREVER.

Nope, I'm quite sure it's just a mathematical certainty that has to take place. Like, a permanent sequence of some sort. I think the purpose is life itself--I subscribe to an old line of reasoning which suggests that anything possible must eventually occur, sort of pythagorean in nature.

It only stands to reason why we exist in this short time span. And it isn't for what the world is making it out to be. It is for spiritual development, to make us ready to dwell in the Holy Dwelling of a superior supernatural Creator. By doing things God's way it creates an atmosphere that keeps Heaven-Heaven throughout all eternity,with beings going the extra mile and thinking about others instead of themselves.
This plane of existence is temporary with nothing but death being certain. I really personally don't understand how anyone can invest everything into this wisp of time. If you look at it from the creators point of view,Well, when your by yourself,don't you get bored and want friends to be with? So does God. But He doesn't want friends that are going to stab Him in the back or want His stuff etc,etc. just like you wouldn't either. And would you want to get to know people and get to love them very dearly just to have to lose them? Neither does God. See this world is for spiritual development to prepare ourselves for eternity with our superior supernatural creator. God wants His Holy Dwelling to remain Heaven for eternity not to become a living hell like this plane of existence that has been made that way by selfish,self-centered, greedy baboon-people
Basically this is a automatic weeding phase of existence, either we prepare ourselves or we have received our reward. We can laugh all we want and use fine tooth-combs to find reasons to ignore what God wants and do what we desire but when we are lying in our casket all this stuff will suddenly have less than zero importance at all. I have found that this life can be greatly likened to the movie 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' with Gene Wilder. Not that it is identical or anything just very similar in alot of ways. Take care and may God bless you spiritually.

Technically the point is to mate and sustain the human race. The point of my life is to get as far as i can as painlessly as i can before i kick it.

It's probably for us to wonder what the point of it is
