from a scientific point a view the point of life is to keep your species alive, so in other words have sex and protect ur kids.
from a religious point a view life is a test where you must over come hardships while staying relatively pure (although this varies from religion to religion thats the basics of it)

The purpose of life is knowing God and enjoying him. Most people here are saying that you invent your life and make it into what you want, inventing nihilistic existential games. That's not life at all, it is being in communion with Christ, the mastermind and sustainer of this world. In knowing and following him and his teachings/commands, your paths are made straight and you begin learn what living really means.

Anymore, we are here to feed the machine.

procreation, my friend. life's main purpose for every organism

The purpose of life is our own. We create the point to our own existence. We forge bonds with people, and help them in order to feel that we are further bettering the lives of ourselves, them, and the rest of the world. To speak from my belief in the 7 chakras/chi (no I'm not a Buddhist or Hinduist, I kind of go my own way, I'm not religious, just philosophical) the purpose of my life is to find the balancing point in my chi, so that I may transcend the perceptions erroneously laid down upon my mind by so many who came before me, and see the truth of things: That we are all the Chi, and we are in fact one great sentience with many facets seeking only to maintain the balance of order, good, truth, and speculation.
