I know! And you can give the science behind it but then asking why again… Makes you think about it. Why do we have chromosome? Well because thats how humans are made. Why? (Who decides that) Oh God literally.
I don't know if God could get lonely. But that aside I think it was just in his nature. In a way, I think love and creation are linked. And from there I say it was in God's nature to create so He did.

Sorry I'm late to the chat… Idk if my input is even wanted at this point, but here are my two cents:
Life has no inherent purpose, therefore it is up to the people in this world to create one for themselves. Sometimes that purpose is found through religion. Sometimes that purpose is to help others. Sometimes that purpose is only self-gratification. Then, sometimes, there are people who drift through life with no clear purpose in their minds at all.

This right here is perfect…

Thanks Shuri. I think it makes sense, given that life's purpose is so up for debate.

That's right…
Don't mind me over here stalking this thread and having an internal crisis at the notion of infinity and relativity of purpose.

Life is what you make it, and nobody has the answers… We can try to find them but so far we got bupkis… Make your life one that consists of helping others…

If you can help it, those are the types of thoughts you should just quietly push away. You don't really need to know those things or comprehend them to live your best life.

Lol.
"Life is what you make it, and nobody has the answers… "
I would say not. Besides of course, the fact that I have a belief that I think is backed up by factual evidence. I think that since the beginning there have been religions, there must be some kind of truth in them. (Especially the ones that have survived time, plus of course the converts thing.)

Could you explain that better?
My bad I'm just tired…

Yeah, specifically the converts part. What about them?
Just the fact that literally millions of people have converted from whatever to a religion so they must have something.

Maybe, but the opposite frequently happens too. I've especially known it to happen with people around my age, including myself. I was raised Christian, but I'm agnostic now for a multitude of reasons.
However, I will agree that I think there's something there and that religion has tried to explain it all since the beginning of time. My argument would be that for a lot of the converts, it isn't necessarily being convinced of a belief. Sometimes it is a need for purpose or something to hold on to. Not always, but I know people who think like this.
Well I would say falling out of religion is as easy as falling out of a tree. While converting to a religion requires serious thought and a couple of paradigm shifts.
I haven't lost faith in religion, but I've lost faith in most of humanity… And that requires a shift in values, beliefs and opinions as well…
When you fall out of a tree, you might break a few bones, and losing faith is comparable to finding it…
I was just stalking this thread and really felt like contributing.
I don't believe in a higher power or gods or anything like that. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what I believe but I know I think that we decided who we are and what actions to take to be that person. I - not trying to offend anyone - dislike the idea of an all-powerful being of some kind governing my life and guiding me which I'm sure sounds favourable to some people.
I suppose I believe that we are on our own here in our little pocket of some unimaginable reality and we are here for a purpose but we weren't made to have a purpose, we chose to have a purpose. Every bad thing and every good thing that we experience is a set up to what we are working towards. You know how all these successful people who faced these insane challenges that seemed impossible to overcome? I feel that those roadblocks are there to ensure that we get to where we're going and it only helps us in the long run. It depends if you are devoted enough to your purpose to overcome these obstacles though. These obstacles are there to clarify that we are ready for our purpose.
Summary I guess- We decided to have purpose and everything in life, both good and bad, leads up to it. Unfortunately, not everyone makes it.
