And when this question is asked what they really mean is: "Are all humans here for the same reason?"
To ask if one has purpose in their life does not require that it align with everyone else's purpose. Yet given the authoritarian, soul crushing structure of fundamentalist beliefs no true believer will even consider they have a purpose unless it is the certified true purpose of their sect. Above all else one must humble oneself to the herd, unless you're a charismatic preacher. Then it is possible you are filled with the holy babble.
