No Carrie. Cause is not the same thing as Purpose. Cause alludes to the fact that “Everything is created.” Of course, then the theist is going to try and flip the table with a “Special Pleading Fallacy” and assert that their God is Uncreated and Eternal.
The “Special Purpose.” argument is another animal all together. It generally goes with the “Argument from Morality.” “Well if you don’t have a purpose why are you hear.” The theists don’t realize they have been force fed their purpose from birth and have been so brainwashed they really never made a choice. They believe in their purpose the same way I opt to believe in any purpose I have. However; My purposes are actually taking me places .
