Existence, mmm?
What's the point?
Now, let me qualify that:
I've been through all the "life begets life" and the "the meaning of existence is reproducing itself" stuff...
AND the only reason i've bothered to bother is the ceaseless drumming of the impotent war-bongos between those of us who do and don't believe in a higher bloody being.
Give it to me straight - lets go all oscar wilde on this (d'ya see what i did there?!) give up your epigrams and craplets and couplets and limericks on WHY WE ARE HERE!
(and no boring ********)
(please)
love and hugs

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Indeed the question is fundamental, pity more people dont stop to ask it, and then try genuinely try to find some answers. Going a little deeper, I guess the fact that there is such a question ' whats the point?' would lead to a fairly natural assumption that there must be 'a point'.
Hope you dont mind me asking, What is a mid-key methodist, and what do you mean by standard text?
i think we may talk the same language, sir!
i agree entirely that the question is there to be asked.
mid-key means i am less fanatical than my sisters.
and "standard text" refers to the usual kerfuffle which goes on whenever religion is mentioned on the Answer Bank. The bandying around of standard arguments and usual speech: a long-drawn tide on this untidy beach...

how did we descend from the animal kingdom?, dont tell me we descended from the chimps!......if we did, how come there are still chimps. From my experience people put all manner of objections to God/faith and subscribe to the evolution theory because they know if they did have belief in God and had faith, they would have to do something about it - and stand up for their faith. But thats just it, you have to have faith to believe in something you cant see!

I'm not sure you can say that religion has been a stabilising influence on society when it seems to me that all wars, if not started for reasons of greed, then are started because of religious differences. The amount of prejudice that is inflicted in the name of religion can hardly be called stabilising either.

Why can't believe in God and Darwin.
Hi gathorne, yes agreed to some extent, but humans fight because there are too many in one space, religion is only the simplest thing to blame, I am sure that if religions didnt exist they would fight because their neighbours are taller or have more fish or whatever.
I did mean stability in a cultural way in that many generations of a society use the same standards/rules to function.
