I'm not saying that... I'm saying that I personally can't argue with theists about purpose.

Quote:When it comes down to it, I suppose I'm in the "we make our own purpose" crowd, at least as far as abstract activities.  I'm here, now, and I'm having a blast.  I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts, and when it's done I won't be around to care one way or the other.  What more do I need?

Good for you Smile

Quote:Why does there have to be an "ultimately"?

Will any of this matter when our star dies?
