The infamous, Why are we here?

I think we're here to prove that God doesn't give a rats ass what your race, color, or even species is.

 

We're here cause we felt like it.

 

This question holds the same relevancy of the question of gods existance. We can not possibly know, but the question is something we desire to find out. If we ever knew, we would not be content because there would be nothing left to desire. If we examine our desire to question, rather than examine the question itself, we may find the answers in ourselves. This is one of those questions that matter so much to the I, but do not hold relevancy to the universe as a whole. The universe is, we are, and that is all we really can know. If we know anything else, we probably don't know. Take away the why. "We are here". This is truth, purpose is not necessary.

 

I think we're here to figure out the answer
The God/dess won't tell because...

1) Due to the epistemic (sp) distance there communicating with us would blow our brains out.

2) We wouldn't understand and/or believe them.

3) His/her/it's chief form of amusement is watching us. To tell us our life's purpose would ruin the great story that is our existence.
(though if they are all knowing then they'd know anyway, which must suck really)

I believe everyone has a purpose in life, and that once it is fulfilled we die. Or perhaps in death our purpose is fulfilled, maybe our destiny is to be a statistic. (grim thought really)

 

why are we here? enjoy the moment maybe?

 

the answer is simple really. the reason that you are here is to be alive! to live life! to face choices, to feel emotions, to experince free will! dont waste time thinking about it any deeper than that. there is no specific reason to live. just enjoy the experience while you can

 

we are here cause the world hasnt ended yet so were here waiting for that event

 

we are born to dye

 

Or even die

Perhaps our real purpose is to reproduce, carrying on humanity.

 

We're here because the Universe creates life, and humanity is one of the possible viable DNA combinations.

 

Its impossible for anyone to know...this is why I despise fundamentalists......


There are definitely things we can't understand, and likely will not understand even after death.

 

We are here because of a infinite number of chances that happened to go a certain way billions of years ago gave rise to a form of 'intelligent life' thats clever enough to ask each other 'why are we here?' and invent digital watches.

Does it matter if its all chance or if the hand of God has been caught poking around a bit? Its like wondering all you life if a dugong is going to fall out of the sky and squash your head.

Believe whatever you want to, live and enjoy.

 

Till humanity dies, be it by our hand or the universes

 

We are here simpy because we are here and to go beyond that would have to destroy what is and so not to take that risk we suffice with being.

 

So far as purpose, persons must get through their thinking and become comfortable with a way of life they feel is suitable before each can answer that question within themselves. I personally feel there is one way of life and I have come to be a vegan who is primarily free-thought. Vegan because I HAVE a conscience, and free-thought is how I got that way. Purpose certainly must be to ensure there is a viable future, and if you really want to or have the time to stick your neck out, to make permenant and as quickly as possible, law, that provides for the perfection of civilization.

 

Luck and magic brought us here, now all we have or can do is await death as best we can.

 

If there were an infinite amount of beings, then one of them would be an omnipotent god?

 

Life is here to manifest. Maybe into all sorts of possibilities or into certian orderly possibilities.

 

WHY?!... Because

 

i'm sorry but i no longer believe it is why we're here that
matters. (though we are perhapse here to learn to act
responsibly and why we need to, if and when we might ever
come into our own god-like powers and abilities if, as is
one possibility, that might be what we are growing towards)

it is what we do with the here where we are while we're here
that does.

if you want to live in a paradise
make the avoidance of causing harm your first and highest
priority

if you want to live in a hell
refuse to care what or how much harm you might cause.

this is not about some other life
but about what we make of this world here and now

not that other lives you may look forward to living arn't
important

but it is the same principal that applies

the real cause of suffering is that we collectively prevent
ourselves from individualy making allowances for in order to
live in harmony with, the unimmaginably vast range of
diversity that is the nature of reality

and whatever name we put on doing so this is still the real
great wrong and all the names like gods and governments,
idiologies and economics, soverignties and beliefs, these
are defferent perfumes to hide this same stink, ways of
causing it and ways of hiding it from ourselves.

granted every belief is as bennificial as the degree to
which it encourages people to want to avoid causing harm

yet at the exact same time it is also as harmful as the
degree to which it encourages us to deceive ourselves as
to the real mechanisms by which we do so.

the founders of beliefs honestly and sincerely ment well
and many honest, sincere and well meaning people for the
best of reasons get drawn into identifying with them

but no belief (or lack of one for that matter) alters the
simple reality that we collectively create what we
individualy experience, nor that outside of and beyond our
mutual coerciveness of one another we call human society,
there is a universe, tangable and nontangable alike, more
diverse then any of us could ever possibly begin to immagine
