You have been proven wrong.

They may attempt to qualify it with an adjunct like that it has meaning for them, or they make their lives meaningfully. If by some quirky chance one ever did flat out state that, they wouldn’t get any kudos as a stamp-of-approval. There is a reason that won’t be done.
Why did you quote that when you didn't respond to it? taking an indirect approach. 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.

I'd open a cafe, of course. No one eats in hell nor do they drink. They will once PT opens his cafe and I will definitely check it out.

Absolutely none. Nada.

Purpose requires intent. There must then be an intender and there is none, ergo, no purpose.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

The same reason he quoted you quoting that and not responding to it. He's a dick.
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.'

"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."
