OJ I hear ya been having similar thoughts about what is my purpose etc. As for you not having blind faith as you call it I would just like to say that my guess is you do have faith just not religious type more scientific and there is nothing wrong with that at all we all have different perspectives and thoughts as long as we of course respect others views as well.

I consider my self agnostic (believe there might be a god but don't necessarily believe there is one). Maybe you are this too that is for you to decide however you perceive the world and how you fit is really what you believe and think. Yet yes I am with ya in that good to ask to help figure out well life in general after all I didn't eat the salmon mousse:) << Monty python reference there:)

All that being said in a sense we are putting labels to our beliefs such like in a sense we put labels to our gender. Just saying it is similar if you think about it the only thing I mean here is that I judge no ones perspective and respect it as long as they respect my point of view. Many religions follow this in that love thy neighbor etc. Scientifically a little different in that its trying to quantify what this whatever is but it does not intend disrespect just looking for facts that it can find. Yet both religion and science can live in harmony or at discord with each other it depends on the topic if you will.

Just an opinion no disrespect to someone elses point of view or religion in fact I love other peoples views it broadens my perspectives:)
For every day that stings better days it brings.
For every road that ends another will begin.

From a song called "Master of the Wind"" by Man O War.

I my opinions hurt anyone it is NOT my intent.  I try to look at things in a neutral manner but we are all biased to a degree.  If I ever post anything wrong PLEASE correct me!  Human after all.

Because we're here.  (Roll the bones?)

Maybe we're here to listen to Rush?  (The band, not the bloviator...)

So it is true that i don't have purpose, but i am excited about life because i feel like there are absolutely endless possibilities for where my life can go; and i am excited to see every random unexpected turn of events before i am food for trees.
I agree with this totally

We are here because we are not somewhere else
The main things to remember in life are Love, Kindness, Understanding and Respect - Always make forward progress

Superficial fanny kissing friends are a dime a dozen, a TRUE FRIEND however is PRICELESS

To borrow a quote from someone else, I am coming around to the view that the meaning of life is to give life meaning.
