If God created us for no purpose, that would have been the purpose. We are also enslaved to the physical world we live in. If you choose to not put gas in your car you run out gas. If you choose to not look both ways before crossing the street you may get squished.

So some are created for the purpose of being squished, or, we live in created system of laws, physical laws and otherwise with a higher purpose of some kind. I don’t have the answer to this one if you think it through. Lot’s of good people get squished, electrocuted or whatever for no apparent purpose.

It is instructive to notice a ratio to traffic deaths and seat belt laws. If you can increase seat belt usage, deaths go down. What does this say about individuals mystical purpose? I don’t know.

You lost me at being created for no purpose is a purpose. No purpose = Purpose.

Doesn’t compute for me.

Why did God create us and put us here on earth? I don’t know, but it’s obvious we’re in some sort of school.

We have to learn certain things, say, how to love. Easy to love God, he’s so great. Hard to love our nasty neighbors, especially when they are mean to us. Christianity has been trying for 2000 years to help us learn to love those neighbors. Belief in Jesus is supposed to make it easier. After we die we find out if we did okay or not.
