nefar- you obviously don't get what im trying to say. Which is fine. I was simply triying to bring up the point of what animates our lives, what humans central aim is. Which I feel is the desire to seek Perfection.
This is what Siddartha says what the meaning of life is.
1. Life is suffering.
2. Suffering is caused by desire.
3. There is a way to be released from this suffering.
4. The way to release from this suffering is, folowing the eightfold path.

Yup every living organism on this planet has one sole purpose, to procreate and continue the species. Thats it. We are not here to worship some god, we are not here to gain wealth. Just to pass our genetic material onto the next generation. Often the simplest answer is the correct one.

WE'RE HERE CAUSE WE WERE PUT HERE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN A HIgHER BEIN', THEN YOU LIVIN' LOST.
JUST MARINATE ON THIS THOUgHT, "WHY DO WE HAVE ALL THESE SENSES AND REJOICE OR ARE SADDEN BY OCCURENCES?
WHAT YOU EAT DOESN'T HAVE TO TASTE gOOD. AS LONg AS IT FORTIFIES YOUR BODY AND KEEPS YOU ALIVE RIgHT?
A NUTT DON'T HAVE TO FEEL SO gOOD AND TIE YOU INTO EMOTIONS TO PROCREATE. WE CAN JUST LAY EggS LIKE REPTILES AND THE OTHA gENDER COMES FERTILIZES IT.
THAT LYNCH CD DIDN'T HAVE TO SOUND SO gOOD. WHY IN THE FUK DO WE EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC OR HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DO SO? WE CAN EASILY COMMUNICATE WITH HAND gESTURES.
WHY HAVE SOMEONE TO LOVE? WE CAN EASILY BE HERMITS FOR LIFE RIgHT AND BE MAD AT THE WORLD?
MY POINT IS THAT AS LONg AS WE HAVE THESE SENSES, IT LOgICALLY TELLS US THAT THEY WERE PUT THERE BY A CREATOR WHO gAVE US THOSE gIFTS SO WE CAN INDULgE IN THIS FUCCED UP WORLD FOR WHAT IT IS. THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO PROCREATE, BE FRUITFUL, AND HAPPY. AND IT'S A MATTER OF FAITH, THOUgH, AS TO THE FULL PICTURE OF WHAT I'M STRESSIN'.

I dont understand how you think that because we have senses that means we were made by a creator. Every animal has senses. They are essential for survival. And the fact that busting nut feels good also has a more logical answer then "A CREATOR WHO gAVE US THOSE gIFTS SO WE CAN INDULgE IN THIS FUCCED UP WORLD FOR WHAT IT IS." Sex feels good because if it didn't why would people seek it out? If having sex was like shooting your foot who in their right mind would do it?
Your biology teacher told you? So this stat MUST be correct, right comrade? Find me a scientific study that backs this statement up.
In your entire school career, has there ever been just ONE time when you found out your teacher was incorrect?
Teachers do not know all the answers, especially american ones.

In the US, according to a survey published in Nature in 1997, four out of 10 scientists believe in God. Just over 45% said they did not believe, and 14.5% described themselves as doubters or agnostics. This ratio of believers to non-believers had not changed in 80 years. Should anybody be surprised?
so it wasn't 70%....mmmm, let me research more on this.

Keep researching comrade.
