Forty-nine and childless, I begin to wonder.
What do you believe is our purpose?

I don't think we have a purpose at all, other than what we bestow on ourselves in an attempt to explain ourselves.
Do you believe there is such a thing as 'good' and 'evil'?

Can i join this one-on-one?
I do not know whether there is such a black and white division as good and evil. I just came back from a Philosophy exam i had on University, which stated the ideas of Jean Paul Sarte. He says that every person is free, because your conscious can negate. You are free in everything, and your destiny is controlled by yourself, because you have to make your own choices. The only thing we are not free in is the fact that we are free, because that is a fact that is undisputable.
I find it interesting that you can control your own destiny, i don't think that your destiny is made for you, a thing you cannot control yourself.
Do you believe in God?

Do I believe in God? Yes, God is love.
This question may be darker than is appropriate for this particular thread, but it's one I have pondered many years: what remains when the will to live is relinquished? (I should add that I once suffered a nervous breakdown. When I found myself at the bottom in the pit of Hell, inscribed on the wall there were the words I have for my motto, which is my signature here.)
Addendum: I should phrase the question so as to elicit a Yes or No reply, okay. That's the rule.
Do you believe we have a soul; a vital essence that sustains life, without compromising the integrity of conscious free will?

No.
You know, guys, a lot of the questions and answers in this thread would make terrific non-game threads.
Do you believe in turning the other cheek?

The federal justice department has just announced they are as good as federalizing our local municipal police division. Turn the other cheek? No! It's about god-damned time!! We had 212 murders here last year, evidence of a gang war.
Do you want to initialize a serious philosophical thread?
