I see a lot of religious people making comments indicating that, without God (or their religion, but largely the Christian God), there is no hope, no purpose in life, no reason for living. This mentality has me very worried. Atheists, other spiritual beings, those who find joy in life itself, would you please share some of the things about life that inspire you and how you reconcile your beliefs (which don't include the "great reward" of heaven) so that life IS meaningful to you?
Christians who find hope and purpose in life beyond God, please also share.
Personally, I find nature awe inspiring. How such incredible beauty can come about through very simple rules & laws & elements amazes me. In addition, I feel every day is a wonderful opportunity. While many complain about not getting more time, I feel we should be very glad that we have any at all. This life is an experience, & even if it sucks, at least we got to be here. Even the smallest experience makes it worth it.
