It might be to realize: if god and satan are antithetical (ie. opposites) and satan requires belief to confuse evil with good, how could god also require belief to reconcile them?

Just kidding: it is to obsessively worship a (man-made) book, a (dead) man, and believe to know good/evil, all while believing one is themselves not an ignorant idol worshiper spilling blood and pathologically blaming everyone else for it.

Humans impose meaning in the universe. Without living organic brains there is no reason to think that there would be any meaning.

You may subjectively decide to impose whatever meaning you would like. That does not mean we share said purpose.

The search for meaning is not the meaning... unless you subjectively decide to make that the meaning for you. Your purpose could just as easily be collecting stamps. The point is that there is no meaning unless some conscious being decides to make one up.

No, it isn't

Love is a symbol of reproduction and offspring to produce more humans into the world based on the affection of other people. You're goal is to find someone where you can share affection to. This can be applied to friends, but not in a sexual way, filli in greek, for friendship love.

You love a god, agape

Your love of a parson, sagapo

Loving yourself, philutia

There is no sufficient evidence to support the idea that humans are designed at all. Unless you can somehow demonstrate this your claim is nonsensical.

Useful/useless is a subjective term. A thing can only be useful/useless in relationship to a particular goal. Since neither life nor the universe would seem to have any set goals this is a nonsequiter.

Please review my earlier comments. Usefulness can only be measured in relation to a particular goal. DNA, life and indeed the universe have no intrinsic goals.

I was unaware that I developed a stutter or that it translated to this medium. Allow me to reiterate. The universe does not appear to have an intrinsic goal.
