Anyone trying to analyse the problem of divinity from these kind of viewpoints is really getting the wrong end of the stick.

Also, the whole "why are we here?" question is sill pretty pertinent, and it always will be as far as I can tell.

Well the whole "God" and "Why are we here" can be tied together. If there is a "God", why is he/she there?.

The reason we're here is a matter of an individuals destiny. You can't ask that question relating to the entire human race. I believe that it is up to an individual to decide why they are here.

I can see your point of view though... i just refuse to buy it. In the majority of cases you won't convince religious people that there is no "God" and visa versa for people who don't believe.
