What other purpose would you have in life besides worshiping God or wanting to go to heaven? If you where certain God did not exist, What will drive you in life?

Sure, I'm a very intrinsically motivated person. Just seeing the good I do for people's lives is enough for me to live on. My father was an abusive drug addict, but I am nothing like my father. I want to eventually be the best father I can be. To form an unbreakable bond between myself and my children.

I'm not ABSOLUTELY certain god exists, but i'm pretty sure the same question could apply for me, and I have absolutely no problem with my life at the moment. Life is great, and so are the people who live it, and I don't need to believe in a god to appreciate everything around me.

No one on earth in 100% certain that god exists or does not exist.
But I'm decided that it doesn't exist, and I see enough purpose in my life to try and do well, not harm others, and make something of myself, because I enjoy it.
I have a conscience, I have feelings, I respect the people around me and the society I live in. I don't need mystical crap or promises of life beyond life to do these things.
It is EXTREMELY narrow-minded of you to ask this question.

The reason ALL religon was created was for that very purpose. So what do i find as a reason for living? What ever makes me happy. A beautiful girl, a big home cooked meal, freinds, smokin weed, drinkin alcohol, Im happy without a god but some people need religon to help them when they are not so happy. Religon isn't a bad thing nessceraly but i don't believe god judges my life. I think for myself.

Of course I would. I find this question disturbing on many levels. I see no real purpose in supposing there is a god and foolishly thinking he wants me to worship him. What purpose would THAT serve?

Why is it that Christians think that just because someone doesn't believe in god that they're hopeless, angry, and sad?
Honestly think about that a little. What crap.
If you can't find any purpose to your life without your god then you have a very very sad little life.

Purpose in life comes from laughter, love and happiness.
Everything else is just salad dressing, deities included. Purpose is easy to find, but harder to live our in life.

Many scientist are 100% certain that evolution occurred-but I still have a purpose.

Living and being happy.
I am 99.9999999% sure there isn't one. I have yet to feel a lack of purpose. I guess I just don't feel the need to make one up.

Making a better life, getting a nicer job, getting an advanced degree, reading more books, taking more walks, on and on.
