Does evolution have a purpose? (Evolution)
DHW Of course not. I am as aware as you are of the evil in the world, but you used the theory of evolution as a basis for your attack on evil-doers! Your understandable diatribe against them was preceded by the comment that the “assumption of evolution” is “a self-delusion fuelled by a desire to defame/eliminate the knowledge of God and bypass the influence that religion has/had on the political sphere.” I was merely pointing out that, as Darwin himself repeatedly emphasized and as the Church has confirmed, belief in evolution is not incompatible with religion or with decent behaviour. I don't think the Pope would take kindly to your view of his motives! Just like your biblical texts, people extrapolate what they want to from the theory of evolution, and frankly, I doubt if the folk you have described care two hoots about it!-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I'm sorry, but I could care less what the Pope thinks. They just reversed their position on gay marriage. They worship idols. They have been the broker of numerous wars and more bloodshed than most countries. The Pope and the Catholic Church, as an institution, are about as immoral, depraved, and heretical as they come. The Catholic Church is no different in type than the Pharisees of Christ's time.-(For the record: I do not hate gay people, but I strongly condemn the 'practice' of homosexuality. Love the person, hate the sin.)

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
