The God question, don't know and don't care. The master/slave part, like it or not, some were born to lead, some were born to follow. As of why, that's a very deep question.

I think we find our purpose in our values. What matters to you?

There is no purpose. You make a purpose.

I read his book. It's very interesting. He was a pentacostal (I think) minister.

It's been a while since I read Victor Frankl's book "Man's Search For Meaning". What I recall having read - or perhaps what I inferred from it - was that life's meaning was different for different individuals. While in Nazi labor camps, Frankl would coursel fellow prisoners who were giving up hope, and he would try to find meaning in life for that particular prisoner. It was typically something different for each individual. Reconnecting with what gave the prisoner's life meaning gave him the will to keep enduring their circunstance.

Life has no purpose beyond duplicating itself. Anything else is what complex life can make it to be.
