Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."
Yes, I wholeheartly believe that God has a purpose for my life. I wasn't sent here to be an idle person. One of my purposes is to help others, serve my Heavenly Father, and spread his good Gospel to all who are willing to hear it.

Yes the purpose is to continue with life in whatever form. You are part of that process. A very small part but important. As to if "god" whatever that might be has a special purpose for you as a person I think not.

Do you mean do I believe in him, and is he meaningful to me? I don't live my life based on thinking there is a God there that will judge me on every move I make, but when something happens that I can't explain, sometimes that's what I think caused it. The universe is so complex, it had to come from some intelligent being that we don't know a lot about. I DO believe things happen for a reason and fate and all that, but I wouldn't keep from doing the things I wanna do in my life because I think God will judge me for it. The whole point is that He's NOT supposed to judge you. He's supposed to accept you no matter what.

He sure does. Go to your nearest bookstore and purchase The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. Fantastic reading.

yes. Only God can give purpose to life. He gives the same purpose to every life and that is to find Him and to find our joy in Him forever.
Why do people keep speaking about procreation as a purpose? Evolution is a mindless natural process and cannot give us a purpose. Not living, nor dying nor procreating, nothing, nothing, nothing is a purpose without God.
Yes, God is a big fan of free will which is why He doesn't force anything on us but He still has a purpose for us and it doesn't involve us inventing things that we like to do and pretending it's our purpose.

I believe everyone has a purpose, but I haven't found mine yet!

No... I don't believe in god, and life has no purpose other than procreation.
At least in the big picture.

Yes i do, but i believe he left it up to me to decide what that purpose was.
In my opinion, he's a big fan of free will. :)
