The point of my life is to make bigots unhappy.

Fortunately, this takes very little time and effort on my part, since all I seem to need to do is exist as a feminist, atheist, queer individual who is happy and healthy and in a loving relationship. So most of the time I just have sex and play videogames.

Life doesn't really have a point. Which is cool, because that means we can make up our own 'point'.

You blaspheme with such talks of "girls". Even a person, who deals with the magic of math and physics, should know better that "girls" do not exist.

Why does there need to be a point to life? Just enjoy it the best you can, help others where possible and try to not to screw yourself or anyone else up too badly.

This is not a rational question, since there can be no real answer to it, especially since you've limited the answers possible by excluding the possibility of deity(ies). Non-questions will get non-answers.

I feel bad for him, considering that his philosophy never would have encouraged Hitler's ideology, had it not been twisted by his Nazi sister.

...Your ignorance of Nietzsche is so astoundingly repugnant as to be laughable if it weren't so depressing.

I dunno who said it earlier, but the whole "objective in a necessarily subjective" someone said was dead fucking on. There's no purpose in the sense that some being is giving you purpose/meaning. To say that the meaning of life is "to die" fails to appreciate the meaning of "meaning," although it's a nice bullshit line to feed to yourself and friends in a Starbucks or an internet forum to make yourself sound smart.
