There is none.

Quote:Why bother?

Indeed. I suggest off'ing yourself immediately.

Quote:What makes anything worth a damn? Angry

I don't quite get what you mean here. "Worth a damn" as in 'why try?' or as in some kind of intrinsic value?
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

You took my answer, only I'm going to substitute music for chocolate.

An irreverent Aussie I once met put it like this:

"Mate I'm here for a good time ,not a long time"

He spent less time navel gazing and more time living his life than most people I've met.

Sentience in a double edged sword. It means we can understand and enjoy much. However,it also allows formation of the conceit that we should and do matter, not only as a species,but as individuals.

The purpose of life is itself. If you lack sand to accept that,try religion or feel free to leave at anytime.

Once the last person who knew me dies, it will be as if I had never existed.It is so for most human beings.

of your sexual relations that count.
It's the quality.

On the other hand, if the quantity
drops below once every eight months,
I would definitely look into it.

Life itself has no purpose, we're just a collection of parts assembled in an above mediocre species forming groups called societies. What makes things worth anything (even a damn) is whatever value you and the rest of humanity gives it. I bother because I care.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

The only things we care about ultimately is conscious experience perhaps. Because "value" and anything being "good", "bad" or whatever at all, makes no sense without a conscious being to add such descriptions. Nothing can be "good" or "bad" without conscious experience.

Well, the strict purpose of life(from the point of view of Evolution) is to create more life.

But after you've done that, Party ,Party,Party!!!!!!!!!

We exist because God created us and he has a reason for whatever he does.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
