I'm saying that there is no logical reason why there should be any purpose to life. What "purpose" means is pretty vague but I take it as something over and above your (1). Atheists may find "purpose" in, say, living a happy life or contributing to society, but there is no logical reason for those things to happen either. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
