How does being on your knees help you figure things out?
Maybe my metaphorical knees? Do I have those?

If the two sources of knowledge - empiricism, rationalism - (http://www.theoryofknowledge.info/sources-of-knowledge/) were correctly applied, the answer to the question ‘Does the Universe exist for a purpose?’ would be inconclusive; empiricism or rationalism wouldn’t provide a definite answer one way or the other; hence the reason why revelation is needed. I incorrectly assumed that the board atheists would say the question is unanswerable and wouldn’t post an answer of ’no purpose’. Kudos to any atheist that didn't endorse.
and the rest of you low-lifer's need to get on you knees and figure it out.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I've always wondered. What happens when a masochist goes to hell? Is it just one high after another? Or are there customized hells depending on the person? Do tell christians, we want to know.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Why?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Actually, no reason. Just wanted to how everyone was doing.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.

When I get in my knees there's usually a very good reason. Usually because I dropped something and it went under the sofa again.
Also to charge up super moves.
