Is THAT What I Believe??

It's not that we (or at least I) think life is meaningless. There's a biological purpose for being born, and for living.. the continuation of the species. But there's more than that. Being atheist means I place my accomplishments, goals, wants, desires, and needs as a reason for living, not as a side effect of living, or a means to keep on living (hence meaninglessly). Beyond speciation, I have no PURPOSE for living, but in living, I find/make purpose, and those purposes make life meaningful.

No one's right and no one's wrong in the battle of religion. I, personally, believe that all of our lives have meaning. It's just different for everyone. An afterlife gives a religious person, not just Christians, a purpose for living. Those who don't believe in a deity or deities just live for the moment. As long as you're not hurting anyone, it's all good in the hood.

I beleive in God out of Ignorance, Ignorance of what lies after Death if God doesn't Exist and that freaks me out.
I don't have nothing agianst other people, mainly because everywhere you look you are being force fed Racism, Sexism and Distrimnation, and I broke out of that Chains through the help of a very smart teacher. Only if people would make judges on people's characteristics than anything else.

Quote: "The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard, who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by 'God' one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity." -Carl Sagan
One would have a hard time trying to convince people that Sagan was a DEIST, let alone theist. He stays.

Its incredible how snobbish and egocentric a person can be... *Sigh*
The "Mass" here is an example that life without a religion works without upsetting a persons lifestyle. Period.
What the point of life is? To reproduce and to make the world a better place than when I started living, for my children, my offspring. It is the logical, evolutionary answer.

Ah so a argument from the masses some how because a lot of people think it makes it correct? that is a logical trip up right there. Also i don't think there is a Point to life which is what makes it enjoyable a List of things to do in a day merely makes the day more boring
What do you suggest the point of life is? some redundant bull shit like To live? to not sin? those are merely points of view which frankly no one lives up to anyway... and by setting that up and failing you now have no point

No i believe you misjudge the situation. Soupthemighty seems to be an atheist himself or at least to understand that an atheist DOES see meaning in his life. I personally like this video and think that he makes his point: Atheists have something to live for and in most aspects, we can enjoy life more than people indoctrinated with religion.
I hope you understand now...
(wtf=Welcome to Finland? :D)

so its just another manipulation way and has nothing to do with facts. Just what I expected from destprate christian
:S
if that's what atheism is then guess what your still following someone else's point of view people today weren't the first atheists although it is a fairly new concept you are simply following the teachings of someone else. someone who for some reason thought it would be cool to blaspheme and no it wasn't satan, hate to tell you this but even he fears god, even he knows there is a Jesus and even his demons fear anyone who believes in the Messiah our lord and savior, no he's not made up. his is

No, atheism is not a new concept, it's been around since man first invented gods.
We(I) do not follow the teachings of someone else, that's for you guys. I do not subscribe to the intellectually stunting beliefs of any organized religion, I merely incorporate good ideas into my personal creed whenever I come across them.
And if that's your idea of religion, then get the hell off this planet, because it would be better off without you.

A quote from a christian to me:
"The Evangelical owns you!!"
Don't tell me to mind my buisness because this IS my buisness.
