Jesus H. Christ, Tom, and the H. is for hwhaat, it is evidently in your nature to be carping. 

I like what you had to say Joan.

Tom, you are correct. It is the fleeting from flower to flower that makes bees so valuable. What do they take back to the hive? Nature is so wonderful, it doesn't make mistakes, it just does what it does. Thanks. I needed that.

Hey, Joan, I thought bees pick up pollen from male plants (or the male parts of some plants) and deliver it to female plants (or the female female parts of those intersex plants). Am I in need of further education?

There's no instruction manual but there are some powerful instructions: grow up, make babies, raise them, and leave.

Truth falls anywhere. It is not aesthetic unlike the designed lie; it is like Denoo says, dont deny. And for the love of a nonexistent god how it is my destiny to inhale nectar of young skunk on midsummer's zephyr.

We are born, just like any squid or porcupine or skunk and we have no purpose other than to do what I and squid, porcupine and skunk do. There is no meaning, no design, no map, no instruction manual. Life just is and does and dies. A bee doesn't get up in the morning as ask, "What is god's will for me today?" It goes out and sticks its nose in every pretty flower it can find and flitters from blossom to blossom until gets so heavy with pollen it can hardly make it back to the hive, where it does whatever bees do with all that dust. It just is and does and dies. In the process it fulfills its destiny.

The religious purpose of life is to become a stupid slave.

Mm from what I remember at least in christian faith the purpose is to serve god and in return you get a good afterlife. so i guess your purpose is to "do good" by "doing god's will" and then in the end you are rewarded.. on and in some religions i think like muslim religions your purpose is also to convert others and "spread the word" of your god so that the whole world is "happy and good" ah who knows .. smh

I'm laughing, I remember well and ignore the purpose I heard and recited innumerable times long ago in Catholic schools.

The purpose of life is to know, love and serve God and be happy with him forever in Heaven.
