Why does life exist....why does anything exists?
Why does life exist?

Life exists to combat and destroy itself. Eventually everything will die, it's like a cycle that is pointless and useless. A dead end, life is another pointless creation.

why was mother Theresa good when she could have been Hitler

why judge cannibals, war mongers since everything is headed for doom

why question/judge women who abort their babies, in short why anything?

Everything is pointless, meaningless, worthless because it all goes to extinction!

tevinsolt:

Explain the above

Life itself is a cycle. You & I are part of that cycle.

Reyginus: Explain the above

from the atheist point of view there's no objective point to life
so why blame Hitler for killing Jews, but commend those who abort their babies
what's the point of being good to others if there's no ultimate motive to it since everything will go downhill at some point

Good question.

Can we leave the atheist alone for now. Let's start from your point of view, except you are one.
If their is no ultimate goal for existence, it means their is also no purpose for creation.
Is creation purposeless?

^^

What's the purpose of everything? Even God.

earth is supposed to be a mini heaven, unfortunately mans understanding has been darkned by his misunderstanding of God and the scriptures,
God is life, and we live in him, we have free will because we are created like God,(He created us out of love to spend time and company with man)thats why u have a free will if u were created like a cow or goat, u will be a robot or mumu,but u cant be created this way because it will nullify the love aspect of God, u have this free will to work ur spirit to the higest state possible and be like the one who created all there is to life or degenerate your spirit by habouring and practicing evil and be like the devil.(because theres an after life and what u take there is not ur material but the cleaniness of ur soul)

life is God,and on this earth plane, u are here for a test........and u need to pass the test,what manner of test? love ie ur job on this whole earth plain is to serve God(am not talking about going to church)and you serve Him by observing the golden rule, loving ur neigbour as ur self.

And in this. . . . rest the fact that there is obvious purpose. . . . . otherwise, you would indeed be right to say that there is no point in any morals whatsoever. Why the heck should I not murder and plunder, if all will end in a meaningless blackhole some millions of years out, anyway?

Sustainance of existence

Why existence? Why does God exist? Why is there reality?

Kay 17: Why existence? Why does God exist? Why is there reality?

Existence, because it's by the virtue of it that we can be felt in continuity in the afterlife.
God exists that their will be a cause of something instead of nothing.
By the virtue of the above two, why not reality?

Without the function of a Creator, God will be useless?!

So we exist for the sole purpose of an afterlife? Then treating this existence in isolation, we are useless?

There is no atheist position on that, end of story.
Theists have a lot of 'stories' related to purpose, etc though. Usually related to.. (I'll be nice for now), god.
Now, who gave god his purpose? I'm going to give you my position, not atheist's, note that. Perhaps life gives itself a purpose simply by being alive? Since god is man made perhaps you (theists that need a purpose) also create its purpose?
Btw, you having existential crises is usually a sign budding skepticism. Let it flow through you.

Kay 17: Without the function of a Creator, God will be useless?!

If God is, the creator He is.
Since he is the creator, 'useless' he is not.
No. We are not.
We have to understand the life, both in isolation and in general.

manmustwac: Life itself is a cycle. You & I are part of that cycle.

Are you sure of this?

If life indeed has no purpose, why are humans bothered about it? What keeps us bothered?
Why can't we the carefree life other lower animals live? Eat, have 5ex, sleep..

ITS A GOOD QUESTION AND LOGICALLY LIFE SEEMS LIKE A POINTLESS CYCLE. BUT GUESS WHAT ? YOU ARE PART OF IT SO ALL YOU CAN DO IS KILL YOURSELF EVERYTIME YOU POP UP INTO THE WORLD SEEING AS IT IS POINTLESS SERIOUSLY THOUGH THE PURPOSE OF IT IS TO FEEL, TO EAT, TO DRINK, TO LOVE, TO EXIST PHYSICALLY ( BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES ). WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING A PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE. ENJOY YOUR DRINK. ENJOY YOUR FOOD. ENJOY YOUR PASSIONS BE IT READING NOVELS OR SPORTS ETC ETC. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU ARE HERE TO CREATE HEAVEN ON EARTH BY LIVING PEACEABLY WITH ALL MEN WHILE SYNCED WITH GOD.

@Reg

Not that I'm attacking your God, but he seems to the mover of your world. If God doesn't create, what other purpose does he serve?

Will that answer the problem of why we live?
If yes, give your reasons and I will reply you, if no, we move on.

Interesting question, @op.

@Kay 17

"Why God?" is an illogical question. The reason is that "why?" is a query after cause and God, by definition is that which is uncaused. So "why the uncaused?" is nonsense.

In muslims view, god(Allah) created all the university as a test for those people who are going to live in it (us).


To be more clearly, the point of life is to believe in god (Allah), pray for him, and thank him for all the graces.


At the end of the world (Dooms Day) when everybody dies on the earth, we come back to god, and be judged with what we've done in our life (past life) which we are in now. Then, here comes the hell and heaven folks.

^^ No its not. It could be an inquiry into an entity's nature.

@Reg

I don't get you.

Kay 17: ^^ No its not. It could be an inquiry into an entity's nature.

No, it could not be. Before God may be considered as to personality, God must be considered as a concept. If there is such a thing as a prime mover, that which sufficiently explains all existence, then it is a very absurdity to seek explanation for its existence. Such a query has necessarily rendered the prime mover less than prime. In that case, it is no longer God about Whom you ask.

@Reg

Lol, I knew you wouldn't understand Reg.

The point Reyginus and Ihedinobi are trying to get across to you is that there is something wrong with your question.

The purpose of existence is God.

You are asking: What is the purpose of the purpose of existence?
The bolded question does not make any sense to us.

Now that's putting it succinctly.

First of all, God exists and therefore is a subject of existence. The purpose of existence is either of higher or equal significance to God, but not lower or subordinate to God. The so called "absurd question" doesn't come up at all.

"Why is there existence?" is a valid question perfectly squared on your God, who in your belief is the basis for existence. So I'm questioning the purported Creator of existence.

I think I better put it in an absolute way so that the absurdity of your question becomes crystal.

It is actually not totally correct to say, "God exists" especially if that can be taken to mean that God is an entity experiencing an event called existence. The correct and absolute form is "God is existence". The error that is easy to fall into in this regard is to think that everything that exists is God. But if we unraveled that latter thought, it would become, "everything that experiences existence is God" which is obviously absurd. God is that which is.

As such, God is not subject to any thing or condition. That which is God is that which is the final explanation for everything and every condition that experiences existence.

Again, God did not create existence. Rather, God is the meaning of existence. "Why is there existence?" can only be answered thus: "because there is God". To proceed then to ask why there is God is to speak nonsense. If you disagree, please feel free to show what sense there is in the question.

Oga Ihe, sounds like you're explaining Nature not God.. unless ur saying God is Nature...
