The meaning of a word is not the purpose of the word.
A single word can have various shades of meaning. The context defines the meaning!

You like sounding like a broken record!

I'm sure you know that Record (music player) is different from record(dubbing) and is different from record (keeping data on paper)!

I have already given him an indulgence, he is set free even without asking!

The quoted link probably summarises one of the reasons why I have a very very soft spot for Buda!
My spot for you is our sharing of a name.

I am going to try really hard to take your advise.
Thank you.

However, I already failed, and will fail very often.

Shadeyinka, forgive buda for bullying you. What I attempt to think about you is here.

Thank you.
Wallahi, I'm not against you taking his arguments apart, but just want you to do the deconstruction constructively as you often do.

Thank you for being so kindly minded.
The Christian in me wouldn't allow "a tooth for a tooth!".

I've grown some very thick skin when dealing with (especially ) Atheists. It's their normal Modus operandi only that the dimension of Buda is a little different. He's like a brother with a short fuse. I used to engage him when he was a full blown Atheist and I probably was among the first to notice his transition to a form of "theistic atheism" for want of words to describe him. For Buda, I seem to have a very very long rope.

I can easily stop replying and the thread will die a natural death.

Thank you!

Abeg if you still got time on your hand do not stop replying, bro.

As I always do and did, but which he played his wuruwuru blind game in order to not see which as you can see, frustrates.

But it's not his fault. I should have known.

This is why the wonder of the universe is enough to silence the arrogance of thinking this universe was made for mankind.

Where did your ignorance hear that the universe was made for mankind? Craftyreed at work.

Funny. I did feel we had been here before.

budaatum:

"Meaning" and "purpose" hardly ever mean the same thing. Try it with "combustion engine", see what you come up with.

That said, "Purpose of life"? None really. Most living things, humans specifically, just occupy space and consume resources to remain alive. In effect, one could say the sole purpose of life is to live. If humans weren't in existence, the planet would most likely go on much better than with them in it. Even birds and goats probably serve a better purpose, birds by spreading seeds and goats by mowing the grass. Trees however help maintain a balance between CO2 and Oxygen.

There is one important difference between human beings and trees and birds. Birds and trees don't choose a purpose while human beings can. Some humans choose to make the world less bad than if they did nothing, whilst some choose to make the world much worse than it would have been if they actually ate, slept and eventually just died.

Regardless, all living things contribute towards the making of manure in the end, whether they choose it as a purpose or not. Whether that manure makes up for what they consume is debatable though.
