We have different culture, ethnicity, languages & belief system. In your opinion what's the ultimate goal of life? I don't think earning money(job), Getting rich, get married, have children's, eat & drink etc are ultimate goal of life.

Have you ever heard of Occam's razor? Yes. What are you driving at? The question is, "Does life have meaning or not?"

A perfect example of why I hate modern Christianity. At least John Calvin knew better. Quoting from the medium website: The Spirit of God which dwells in you has the sole mandate of transforming you into the image of God.This is not a philosophical topic, it's raw dogmatism. A basic fallacy is call to authority. But I reject dogma of theologians, like Spinoza did. .

"In your opinion what's the ultimate goal of life?" By phrasing the question as a goal, you have already concluded that life has a goal, which is a common anthropomorphic conception. My short and simple answer would be "to try to make the world a better place." It seems trite. The truth as I see it, that world view is too limited. The universe exists, and we are part of nature. The laws of nature govern our behavior. But ethics apply too.
ok i'll shut up now.
