A disbelief in a deity does not constitute a lack of purpose in life. Atheists find meaning in many activities such as art, academia, sports, relationships, ext. They just don't find it logical or convincing that a deity or God could have predestined them, is all powerful, all mighty, omnipresent, omnipotent, and both a loving, jealous, wrathful God. They find God to be too closely aligned with a flawed human nature as present in the Old testaments. He if full of unbearable contradictions such as him loving all equally where he dams all those who are non believers to hell. What a true act of compassion from a loving father is it not! Aside from the egregious belief that we should all life our lives by divine book or our religion, Atheists express the right for free thought and an open perspective for debate, permitting them to become worldly individuals aware of diversity of though and belief. When an Atheists dies searching vigilantly for a divine entity they are not to be punished for their inquisitive natures. Their disbelief in the proof of a God does not mean they are not open to the idea. Atheists have just as much to die for as a fundamentalist christian. They have human connections to the world and the multitude of its fascinating properties, human relationships: love, betrayal, forgiveness, redemption, aesthetic beauty of: nature, animals, art, interaction with the world through senses, the aroma of a fresh pizza, feeling of a cool breeze on a sunny day, fresh feeling of a cool dip in a lake, technology: improved human capacity to live, Biology, the drive to reproduce, grow strong and powerful, Advancement: creativity, ingenuity, will to power, new authority and wisdom,Uniqueness: we are all different in some way, there is no identical human, our capabilities we know little of and we are all special in the way we interpret and go through life, we all lead different lives, all our journeys head in different directions, Atheists like all others would like to stick around to see what wonders lie ahead.!
