How can you think life is meaningful without religious brainwashing? Many are convinced that life has a purpose, but in reality, their just as wrong as the religious right because desire is absolutely meaningless. As a result of natural selection, we only pursue whatever releases endorphins in our body. We are servants to our own wants and needs. Even when we are serving others, we are only serving our own motherly instincts. Vices like religion, art, education, politics, sex, drugs...everything we create is just masturbation of the mind and body. These things do not elevate man above animals...man only has bigger, more complex levels of satisfaction and serotonin levels. All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.
(Do you agree with these people or not?)

we have what is called free will. Whether God gave us the evolved brain to obtain such a thing is irrelavent. The bottom line is that we have the ingenuity to ask such questions, which no other animal can, and that is what makes life worth living.

Your beer comercial condensation of humanity truly denies what makes humans human. What about things like self-sacrifice, doing your duties, keeping promises, good morality, etc. Those things are not selfish yet humanity cherishes them as virtues. BTW>Men arent mothers and dont have motherly instincts.
Purpose in life? Christians have a well defined purpose indeed. The atheist on the other hand is forced to try to search, derive, or even create meaning and purpose in their lives. Many of them become Nihilists seeing life as a cruel thing that tempts you with happiness but never gives it in full and ultimately strips it away.
There is an objective truth in this life and he is the God of Abraham. Without God, life is truly meaningless, purposeless, and hopeless.

One thing Most humans everywhere agree on is freedom of choice/ free will. Aethists in general choose to believe they have the choice and the will to make their own purpose in life. Apart and seperate from a social construct they find distasteful.
At the end of the day we are all just molecues caused by something. We may not know what it is, we may not know if it was intended, but we do know IF there was a god. Christians long ago killed it with grief.

First of all your question doesn't really make sense, delete it, reword it, and repost it. Are you saying that atheists think life has no purpose???
I'm an atheist, and to me the purpose of life is to make life better for the future of life.
Your link takes me to a site filled with ridiculous questions and quotes. Consider this one, "Religion is the opiate of the masses". Karl Marx

Your contradictions betray your self intelligience.
If your theory holds in your mind, end the charades now. Life has no meaning today or tomorrow.
I have hope. I have truth. His name is Jesus.
You may call truth as you desire, it does not lessen its value. It lessens your desire for it.

The meaning of life is up to you.
Either choose a purpose, or be swallowed by existential oblivion.

Maybe atheists don't think life has a purpose. Maybe life just is, and they do the best they can with what there is.

Why in hell do you need a purpose? You decide what your own purpose is in life, no god does it for you.
Seriously, Christians are so wierd. You insist that everything be mapped out for you.
