    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Just good common sense. No need for God.

    If it's God's will that we do God's will, then wouldn't we all be doing God's will? How could we not do what God wills us to do?

    let me ask you something OP? what is the purpose of a non-humans life?

    if an entity is a member of group A, and group A belongs to group B that means that all members of group A are also members of group B. If group A and group B belongs to group C then that means that all members of group a and b belong to group C, and that members of group A are members of group C but not necessarily group B

    humans have a taxonomical classification.

    reductionism.

    Answering the thread title without getting into the op, I'll suggest Humans don't have a sole purpose. However there are phenomenological experiences which humans should strive for.

    Experience(s) such as exploring consciousness (via mind and body), loving, working and/or giving charity, traveling are all worth while pursuits which can satisfy purpose in a human's life.

    I don't know if it's God's will,but I take it as my purpose to make some awesome tunes and meaningful if also at times lyrical content.Not everyone will like it,but this is what makes me so happy and fulfilled that I truly believe that is why I am here,God or no God.

    What father would give his kid a rock who had asked for bread?

    Theoretically god's will is for abundant and everlasting life.

    That will absolutely no different than mine in description.

    My purpose then is both to taste and know abundant and everlasting life, to become familiar.
