What is the religious purpose of life?

I'm writing something and I have to state what religion says about WHY were here. How does God answer that? Why am I here?

So far I've put down: 1 to worship god. 2 to exert your free will and be judged by it.

It's been so long, I can't remember what the religious purpose of life is. But I do remember all those stupid "Got Purpose?" signs everywhere. Can someone enlighten me.

Comment by JP Carey on December 18, 2012 at 10:48pm: Thanks Morr, I'll look that up

Comment by J. Morr on December 18, 2012 at 10:05pm: There was a bible quote that I cant remember but it went something like were here to be lords over the beasts and Stewards of the earth. Also to procreate and become many. Fruitful and multiply i think it went.

Comment by Glen Rosenberg on December 18, 2012 at 4:25pm: Purpose as conceived by the religious is an expression of an infant intelligent life form and its cosmic ego and arrogance which in its infancy demands solace, love and care.

Comment by JP Carey on December 18, 2012 at 4:05pm: Hahaha laugh out loud -so I'm not that far off guys. I thought maybe I was missing something profound.

Got Purpose? (those f*ckers)

We're here to:

Serve god
Worship god
Do god's will
Be god's bitch and maybe go to hell 'cuz that's how he planned it

That may not cover it, but it's enough to make me ill, so I think I'll quit there.

Comment by Glen Rosenberg on December 18, 2012 at 3:56pm: It is to continue this meaningless soap opera existence eternally then and there to flatter his vain and trick ass.

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 4 Comments 1 Like

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,

Nathan Young,

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?

Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,

for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
