The purpose of all life is to produce more life.

There is no objective purpose and asking what the objective purpose is makes you a servile faggot pussy boy.

Part of growing up is realizing that there is no one to rule yourself except for you. You have your own personal moral truths and your goal should be to map out how your personal values mesh with the world. What course should you take given your values? What is the best way to live according to your virtues?

God is a cope for retards that are too cowardly to go through this process of self determination. Believing in god makes you a weak willed, coping faggot.

Correct.

>You have your own personal moral truths and your goal should be to map out how your personal values mesh with the world. What course should you take given your values? What is the best way to live according to your virtues?

Cringe. Sounds like some gayass existentialism. There is no should.

>There is no purpose.

That's a claim. Prove your point through reasoning.

>so in your opinion, what is the point/meaning/purpose?
i believe meaning is inherent to experience
at least it feels that way
thats why im so scared of dying
>do you believe in God?
i guess i believe that for the universe to exist there must be something beyond cause and effect as we know it
maybe whether that thing is conscious or not determines whether it is God
sure, yes i do
>what do you think his purpose in his life is?
to prevent nothingness?
damn i dunno

All life only exists because other life created it. That is how it has been since the first living thing. All living things spend the majority of their life reproducing. That is the purpose of life. It’s the same for ants, whales and us.

>All life only exists because other life created it. That is how it has been since the first living thing. All living things spend the majority of their life reproducing.
Debatable, but let's consider it true.
>That is the purpose of life
Explain your reasoning. I don't see how this follows from the premise.

>>13140177 if all life will eventually die out because of entropy, the end that life strives toward is nonexistent
purpose requires a goal, and life strives toward nothing
purpose must be found outside of reproduction, if it is to be found

None.
>if its none how haven't you killed yourself yet.
Why would I? Where is even the connection between enjoying life and life having a purpose.
>DO you believe in God?
Nope.
>what do you think his purpose in his life is?
None.
