How Do Atheists Survive Their Monotonous Life Style?

Question

Those who accept ignorance sooner or later become entrapped by an un forgiving monotony. Unable to find out its reasons, they finally surrender themselves to this monotony and simply embrace it as a way of living. From then on, they make no effort to enrich their lives, by making them healthier, more comfortable and more satisfying. They spend their lives just waiting for the day they will meet their death.
At this point the monotony starts for the ignorant. The moment they open their eyes to a new day, they find themselves engrossed with everyday routines.

Answer 1

I believe in God but I am not going to start bashing atheists, even though I think they are mistaken. When I see the delicate balance of our world, that this planet is in such an exact position to the sun that we don't either burn to a cinder or freeze to death, when I see the wonderous beauty of creation, the mountains, the stars and moon, the heavens, I cannot fathom the notion that all of this just happened, that it all just resulted from one big explosion in space and that the planets and this world all just magically formed together and that humans simply evolved over eons from a single puddle of formless goo into apes, which then evolved into our present form. For one thing, it's just too arbitrary and coincidental. For another thing, why are apes still here? Are they simply evolving into other humans? I assure you, I am not trying to be smug or cute, I am simply saying that, for me, it's just too big a leap to make to attribute all of creation to such an occurence. The hypothesis is too weak to hold water. You can say what you will about lack of evidence, but I believe there's just no way that this all happened by mere happenstance. All of creation's wonders, and the wonder of mankind, strongly suggests that there must be a Higher Power, a Divine Order to the universe. You can make up your own mind.

Answer 2

the bible of atheism, read it, you might learn a few things:

"I do not drive too fast, even if i don't agree with the rules. I give too much change back to the girl behind the counter in the supermarket. When i find a wallet on the street, i return it to the owner without expecting a reward ,because the relief on your face is worth more to me than money. In a bar i'll talk to you, when you are standing alone. I will never jugde or disrespect you on your looks, not even on your charactre.

And i do that without any God telling me to do that

I give to charity, i seperate my garbage for a better environment. I rather put on an extra sweater, than to put up the heater. I never throw my chewing-gum on the street. Every week i buy the paper from a homeless person. I will help and support you if you're attacked by drunken guys on the street, i'll avoid the fight, but i'll never leave you alone. I help the old lady cross the street, i'll bring the crying lost little girl back to her mother.

And i do that without any God telling me to do that

I know no rules, except my own thoughts. After thinking everything through, i have to conclude that there must be 'something' to make this all happen. I've looked around and inspite of all the misery, the poorness, the crime, the hate, i don't see humans as sinners, but as people with choices. I don't think that i will be lost if i do not meditate on a mountain or pray under a cross. I don't even believe that the guy who blows himself up between a group of schoolkids will burn eternally.

And i think that without any God telling me to think that

Every person has something good inside. Sometimes on the surface, sometimes deep hidden inside. I hope that the God they all talk about, is not the guy with the beard sitting on a cloud. The God i have faith in, is just a metaphore. A feeling. A sence of all the goodness inside the people. Nothing more than that. And more clear: nothing less than that. The goodness in our heart is the most important thing we have. My God has an extra 'O'...Good.

And i am good, without any God telling me that

Good has no need for symbols. No cross, no boring books, no big fat guy, no cow, no buildings with colored glass windows. Good is everywhere and is eternal. There is no need to pray for something good, because it will always be there. There is also no need to pray to end something bad, because the bad will also always be there. Sure there are bad people. These people are to dumb to understand the good. Goodness, kindness can relieve you. Badness only creates more badness. We can never beat the badness. A bad guy with a gun can only be beaten by a good guy with a gun. But a good guy doesn't use a gun.

And even if the Good will always loose, I'll always try to be Good.

Everything has its time, and its place. In our sadness, in our anger, in our happyness, in our love we can see our humanity. These things make us to be the people we are, they shape us, they teach us, they make us really feel. And in every deep misery, there is always a hidden hope, cause we all know anything can always be done differently. This earth is our playground, to feel, to laugh, to cry, to love and to live.

And i live. And that's good."

Answer 3

Frankly, it's a pretty ignornant question. Speaking as a Christian, I can say you've really missed the mark here. People who choose to live as Atheists don't "embrace ignorance" as you put it. They simply don't think that they're missing anything by not living spiritual lives. They still have families and friends and jobs and everything else that religious folks have. If religion is ALL you have, then I really feel sorry for you.

Answer 4

Give the best answer points to Spamandham! He's got the true answer!

No, wait! An even better answer was given by mark_intotdeauna. He rocks! His way of life and philosophy is what makes the world such a great place to be.

Answer 5

OK. Never done this before, but I've just taken out my original answer, because Mark has said something infinitely more logical and beautiful and powerful than I did. Read that, and the responses of your fellows in faith, and I'll be happy.

Answer 6

I am an atheist and my life if far from monotonous.

I am a man of science and logic and there is no logic or rationality to support jumping to conclusions which is all that religion is.

I feel sorry for you in that you can't see past your delusion.

Answer 7

I find it annoying that people with certain beliefs think that others with differing beliefs lead pathetic, sad, and monotonous lives. Grow up.

Answer 8

I'm a christian and im sick of the things you are saying.
your not going to change anyones mind by calling them ignorant.
try proving they are ignorant with verifiable evidence.

Answer 9

you know what I tried the church thing for a few years back in the mid nineties and it never did anything for me ...no enlightenment, no happiness, non of the things that religious people say

Answer 10

My life is anything but monotonous, sounds like you are the one who is trapped
