Why are we here?
I won't pollute the answers with my opinion, I'd just like to hear what others believe.
I'm kinda just wondering since this site seems to have a large spectrum of beliefs.
Side note: yes, I know babies come from vaginas.

Why are we here as in this website or the universe? The answer is the same either way… Because it was there.

So I will take this question as a Zen Koan and just hold up a flower ?

Why? You ask this questions as if there is an insightful answer looming around the corner. Why is earth here? Why are there stars in the sky?

I can respect the question "how." But "why" assumes a cosmic will and intent that I have seen no clear evidence for, so it is purely speculative. Here are some other "why" questions we could waste our time asking:
Why do some live a day and others a hundred years? Why is there horrendous suffering? Why do terribly cruel and selfish people sometimes seem to be rewarded?

I read the question: "Why are you on this site if you believe in magic?"
To answer your actual question: Life has no inherent purpose. "Purpose" is a human being thing - exclusively. The universe is not a human being, existence is not a human being. They do just fine with no purpose, and they will do just fine without us.
