�To experience life to its fullest and use our common sense to be the best people we can be.� -jazmommy 6/6/03
�To exist. A purpose is something bestowed upon something by its creator. Since I don't believe the universe and the humans in it were intentionally created by a divine creator, I don't look for any kind of overarching purpose. It's a non-issue� �contents 6/17/05
�There is not one. We make our own.��BCHostMamaG 6/6/03
�Our purpose is what we make of it. Because I do feel very strongly that what I do will affect the world long after I'm gone I try to make my influence a positive one.��MightK 6/6/03

�I don't believe anything has a purpose. I believe we are just here by chance because life evolved to this point. Even though I don't necessarily have a purpose, I still try to make the best of my time here, and I try and contribute to the bigger picture so my existence isn't merely a waste of resources. I believe in honesty, integrity and giving to others. A lot of what some people attribute to religion I attribute to decency and common sense. If I croak tomorrow, then I've left my mark on this earth by being a good wife, a good mother, a good friend and someone who has helped those less fortunate through both monetary donations and a lot of donations of my time doing volunteer work. While another mother is sitting in church being told that it is nice to give to those less fortunate, my son and I are out there actually doing it.� �LuvThatDyl 6/8/03
�Well, to quote Steve Martin, in that classic, "The Jerk"..."I have a special purpose and it's just for me to see".... I don't believe that I have a purpose ordained by anything higher than me. I believe it is my obligation as a human being, to be as respectful and kind as possible to those who I am sharing this epoch with. It is my job to treat others with care and respect, as I would wish to be treated, because I believe we only have one go around, and as far as I've been able to see, if I'm going to make my mark, this is the time. There are no do-overs.� �LoreleiG 6/8/03
�Okay, now you're getting to philosophical! I do believe we have an obligation to make earth (i.e. the environment) a better place than when we arrived. However, I just tend to live my life as a good wife, mom, employee of the Coast Guard, catmom, daughter...I don't worry about my �purpose.�" �Captain Feathersword 6/8/03
�To reproduce. A.K.A. Also the meaning of life��Cindi_Doll 6/17/03
�Mans purpose on earth is what man makes it. My purpose at this point in life is to raise healthy, happy children.��khm217 6/17/03
�We have evolved into what we are today, Homo Homo Erectus (Human Beings), we are Mammals, carnivores, animals... and as this we are here to continue our species by reproducing and surviving. May I ask? Why is there a need to believe that there is something after death? Is life really that bad that all you want to do is get through it and die to live again somewhere else�� �paxye 6/6/03
