E...Its okay to have no purpose for there is no such thing anyway, other than something someone sets for his or her goal, or goals!

Here in the pub,the atheist’s main goal is to punish the theist from having any flavor other then an atheist brew :lol

The necessity to import a post from an other board to bash believers is evident in your post!

Okay! ... If that’s the purpose, but an afterlife is the purpose of many people.

Myself! I see it as someone deciding that they have one life to live, and setting out to really live it to the hilt!

Are you wanting to discuss your own insecurity blanket?
Are you hoping for lots of favorable responses.
Then you are at the right place, as for the other side, and (GULP!), there always seems to be an other side!?!?... why not pose the question where those that favor an afterlife post?
