Physically: To make babies = to pass along your DNA.
Personally: To learn as much as one can about this world, and potentially use it to help other people.

Wow... ok "believe in god and live to be a gods slave". Thats so attractive. NOT.
Why do Christians think there's a "purpose to life" other than to live it? You people spend your whole lives thinking that theres some kind of supernatural god out there thats created a place called "hell" for everyone to suffer in if they say the words "oh god" and feel sorry for it, or that stole a pencil from someone at work.. Then you blame or praise this being to get a present from him after you die called "heaven".
Atheists spend their lives knowing that this is the only life they have and that the only point to life is to really live it. No matter what, we have to take responsility for ourselves.
There is no purpose. Life is not for "comfort" and its not about "fairness". Its about living it in hope instead of living it in fear that you'll be punished for eternity for something you didn't even know you did wrong.

I believe that there are purposes in life without a purpose to life. Love and learn are my two main goals.

I believe MY purpose is to have an art career and live in a custom-built, eco-friendly house with lots of cats. Obviously, I can't say what other people's life purpose is because they have to live their own lives.

There is a natural urge to reproduce and keep the species alive, there is the natural will to survive, other then that no purpose. Life is what you make it.

Well, the purpose of life would be the life itself (rather than the afterlife), and to do whatever you can to make life as pleasant and endurable as possible for yourself and those around you.

To produce copies of your DNA.
That is reality, if you do not like it, then that is your problem.
Any other purpose or meaning to life is what you place on it.

Get out of work early, have a beer, go fishing. I like to keep my meaning of life simple.
