All this just points to a successful scam. In the past, everyone thought the earth was flat. They were all mistaken.
You have not provided actual evidence. Without evidence, no notion, however comforting, should be accepted.
I suppose that that scam long predates Christianity. The prehistoric villains who found they could escape the grind of survival by pretending to talk to gods would have found it a natural ploy.
The bible is a collection of folk tales, religious and tribal propaganda, and a bit of nifty poetry.
In any case, your nonsense is not found in the bible. It has been cooked up by frauds.
I wonder where you are getting this guff.
I hope that you are aware that there are professional liars who are promoting creationist nonsense for personal and political gain. You might find it useful to check out the "Wedge Document".
Are you sure that you have not been conned by scoundrels?
The bible is folk tales and religious and tribal propaganda (with some nice poetry too). One would expect some factual material in such writing. That doesn't validate the woo in it.
One makes one's own purposes, even if only by choosing prefabricated ones from religion. Personally, I prefer not to outsource my thinking to ancient mythologies.
As far as I can tell, the universe/reality is indifferent to humans and provides no purpose.
Purpose of life? Why do you suppose that the notion of "purpose" is applicable to the notion of "life"?
I see this as a category error dragged into the present by religions as a tool for conning the gullible.
Lots if non-sequiturs here. How does lack of belief imply preference for "big state", whatever that means?
It is far from self evident that an intelligence produced nature. You have been conned by scoundrels.
I wonder why the religious are so obsessed with sex. Is it because religions use matters around sex to cause morbid guilt in their followers? That must keep the pews and collection plates full.
It sure is productive of fatuous nonsense.
