1. Logical: it's all we got.
2. Illogical: we've got nothing
3. We have everything and it amounts to nothing.
4. We are nothing therefore have nothing.
A) Logic is corrupt. It's foundation is the hearts and minds of men. (ironically, just like theists)
B) We question everything except reality and don't require a proven existence. So illogical. What is the meaning of humanity?
C) All the tinsel toys in the world matter not. Death keeps all, including the world itself.
D) When the beginning of time meets it's future / death, did we ever exist?

This question has been answered in the Book of Ecclesiastes. Life is meaningless... without God.

Yes, life without God is meaningless. For those who say if there should be a reason, I would say also, yes. We, ever since childhood, have been asking the question and wanting an answer to all the why's we can imagine. One of these questions, why did God make us. Why are we here? Who made us. As children, the most innocent times of a humans life, we were asking this question. It is natural. Everything has a reason. We as humans demand an answer.
We die, and we have existed. We are humans with intelligence and we know that. Our logic is, we are here so we exist. If there were no humans left on earth, and suddenly a higher creature, intelligence-wise, than humans appeared, would they know we existed? Definately. What about if some lower intelligence creature appeared, would he know? Definately not. He would not understand logic, nor the ability to investigate. So this logic will explain that we humans today with our intelligence demand that there is a higher intelligence before us. That is God. He is all-knowing, all powerful, always living. It is just not logical for us to assume that we are here for nothing and that we just appeared from nothing. We are too sophisticated creatures to assume that.

There is nothing corrupt about logic; it is the essential tool to apply to reality in order to determine how to cope with it. Life has no purpose except to make more life, but humans have the ability to define their own purpose: Carl Sagan said, "If you want your life to have significance, do something significant." One may as well believe in a real physical world, because it will bite you in the butt if you don't.

Life is logical for life forms that aren't sapient and for life forms with an amount of brain activity above a certain point. For the ones in between, ie, the majority of the human race, life is illogical that's why religion is present within this group and not the others.

The brain is the tool that YHVH gave me to base my choices on. Logic is the name of how the brain works. YHVH will hold me responsible for my choices. Therefore Logic must be an appropriate tool to sort out my choices. Therefore life must be logical.

"as each of us can live but one life, a choice must perforce be made.
We choose in reality without ceasing; without ceasing, also, we abandon many things.
The route we pursue in time is strewn with the remains of all that we began to be, of all that we might have become.
But nature, which has at command an incalculable number of lives, is in no wise bound to make such sacrifices"

Why must there be a reason?
