Sure he does, for example this baby was born with organs outside of it's body for a specific purpose and has nothing to do with random biologic mutation.

Raising a family. Enjoying life. The acquisition of knowledge. Becoming a success. Many reasons really. Why do you need an afterlife to enjoy this one?

And no, there does not need to be a reason you are born.

The primary goal of humans is to reproduce with mates that have good genetic material and add something positive to society so that our species can survive. As an individual you set your own goals and achievements, kinda like the best, most immersive, open-world, sand-box game, ever developed.

In my life I have chosen to pursue happiness, comfort, and a successful career, so that I can provide a comfortable life for my future family.

Are you implying that you can't have morality without religion?

Humans are a social species, we have evolved to be able to comunicate and work together, it's not in our nature to mindlesslykill each other.

Angel: Well, I guess I kinda worked it out. If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters... , then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today. I fought for so long, for redemption, for a reward, and finally just to beat the other guy, but I never got it.
Kate Lockley: And now you do?
Angel: Not all of it. All I wanna do is help. I wanna help because, I don't think people should suffer as they do. Because, if there's no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world.
Kate Lockley: Yikes. It sounds like you've had an epiphany.
Angel: I keep saying that, but nobody's listening.

I'm implying there is it a strong necessity to have a moral system without a concept of God... Even if you claim not to believe in God you still have the concept of God...

I'm an existential nihilist, but you can still find a personal"purpose" in your own experiences through life. Of course, you may very well fall into an absurdest paradox, but what of it? Just be appreciative of the little pleasures we have, and if anything, the brevity of life only emphasises the grandeur of it all.

God is a supernatural being that created the universe, morality has nothingto do with god.

Same as anybody else's really. I think it's complete BS to say that religious people have families, careers, hobbies, etc. and yet sit around feeling totally unfulfilled until the subject of god pops into their head.

Ilovegames1992

there is nothing to search for and nothing to practise.

to know youreself , stop imagining youreself to be this or that.

just be.

let your true nature emerge.

the way you was prior birth.

don"T disturb your mind with seeking for concepts/illusions.

the ssearch for Truth within illusions is the most dangerous of all undertakings , for it destroys the world in wich you think you live in (red pill taken ? )

If there is no point to life, other than to have the utmost freedom to do what you want, that carries with it amazing dangers.

You're arguing under the assumption that we have a soul. But even assuming that we do why does that mean that reincarnation has to be true?
