What is the point of life?

[BenderRodriguez]

Why are we created? Do we serve a purpose at all?

Is there a God? Has this God created us to fulfill a purpose?

Does destiny exists? Are we all here to serve a common purpose? To achieve something as a civilization?

[badmafa]

There's no evidence that life has an innate purpose. That is the ultimate freedom; you can make your own purpose.

Destiny made you think so

The point of destiny is, that you can't deny the fact, that everything you think or do, is made by Destiny

[Idioticus]

purpose, destiny, they're just words, which have meaning only to those who give value to them.

Since currently, the only known thing in the universe, capable of even asking the question "what is our purpose", is us humans, the purpose is that which we want.

Simplified:
You give yourself your own purpose.

The answer is, nobody knows. Whether your goal in life is to find out the answer to why, is all up to you.

destiny can't exist with the multiverse theory
if there isn't a higher power (i.e. God) then there can't be an orchestrated life for every thing on the earth

hell even quantum mechanics deny the possibility of destiny

[5chneemensch]

You cannot prove destiny in any way

Destiny doesn't care about "God", Destiny is the undeniable answer to all our doings

don't get me wrong, I do not believe myself in Destiny
But the fact, that Destiny defines itself with your thoughts and doings, I can't be help to think that Destiny made me not "believe" in Destiny

Also, who cares about Quantum Mechanics if Destiny took care of it beforehand to not let us discover the secrets of life?

I doubt anyone has the energy.

Do people really need an outcome of their lives to enjoy it?

This. A billion times this. Someone who actually understands nihilism. The optimist nihilists anyway.

That is about as stupid as you cannot prove or disprove the existence of God because any reasoning you could possibly come up with is far too naive to truly be logical reasoning to his existence or in other words we are too ignorant of the ways of God. Basically the same argument.

I sent God an email. I'll get back to you when he replies.
