Okay, I can bend a little. Living organisms can have a purpose, but it is a unique and personal purpose. Such as when an animal -- including human -- gets hungry it's purpose becomes to seek nourishment in whatever manner is suitable to that particular animal. For a coyote it's to hunt prey or scrounge garbage cans, for a human it's to brave the supermarket jungle, snatching sustenance from shelves and freezers to carry home, prepare and eat or scrounge garbage cans. So I'm a believer then in pragmatic purpose.
