. If 1 must look to some higher being for purpose then god has no purpose. If god has no purpose, it cannot give others purpose. .
Depends on the conception of god, and which god at that. Pantheism hold 'nature' and 'god' to be coterminous, for instance. Many polytheistic religions believe in a plethora of personal gods who represent or personify natural forces, but some have in the background a blind-idiot type of deity: without consciousness or a mind, but nonetheless the source of all things.
god is truth and truth is god, whenever i honestly follow my beliefs i am blessed, even if it turns out to false, for i believed it to be true, and as soon i realize it is fals, my belief changes accordingly. as long as i dont make excuses for my mistakes and take responsibility for my mistakes, i am always taking closer steps to god
