If miracles do not happen, and happiness is just a mere emotion, and that life exists for no reason, HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY FOR IT?

Quit your sniveling. Enjoy your life! It is all you have. If you can not find meaning in it, tough!
Well fuck you too.
Michael: Well, I have been told that a relationship is salvageable as long as you are still arguing. Brace up, man! Life is worth living! Fuck the preachers for convincing you life is tainted!
"it's a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for.
it's the opposite. we have nothing to die for
we have everything to live for."
~Ricky Gervais
and in fact you don't even know if heaven really exist.
why would you find a reason to live?
enjoy your life. YOLO
We are only offering reality. If you aren't interested in reality; and need to believe you will go to a land of sugarplums and gossamer wings when you die so you can make it through your day; then go for it! But we don't believe that shit.
FUCK REALITY! I HATE REALITY! I HATE LIVING! I HATE THE FACT THAT I LIVE IN SUCH A PATHETIC WORLD! FUCK YOU.
Then perhaps church is the right place for you.
NO BECAUSE THIS SITE INSISTS THAT ANYONE WHO GOES TO CHURCH ARE STUPID.
I do not think that; and I don't believe Atheist Republic endorses that statement.
YES IT FUCKING DOES. IDIOT.
Shouting in all caps that someone is an idiot for pointing out that no where is it written on this site we consider anyone not an atheist an idiot.
Wow,I hope for your own sake you do not really mean anything you say and are just trolling for responses.
Which I suppose I just obliged, oh well.
/popcorn?
PMLMAO. If your posts are any indication I don't think you ought to be insulting the intelligence of anyone. You're also very wrong, as usual.
I'm an atheist, and I give my life meaning. So your tantrum suggests it's you who is a bitter angry theist who is struggling to cope with the obvious truth that your religion is just another in a long line of unevidenced superstitions.
Get over it....
That is a tough one mikey. I have to admit. Find some honest, truthful, respectful thing to do, that fulfills you, and do it. Along the way to find that thing, you will live life, and likely enjoy the journey. Although things may get in the way of living, you can still continue on your quest. If you can't, you may have an intrinsic medical issue. If so, seek help. People will help, we are all human. There you go, an honest answer with respect...don't abuse it.
Hey Michael,
I think even without the afterlife our current lives have more meaning. Maybe more so because of it. We all know the basic fact that the more of something there is, the less its worth. Without the possibility of afterlife, every action counts and is worth more. Death is only a loss of sentience, or consciousness.
If you have family/friends, find meaning im spending time with them. Make new memories, try new things. Hell you can go help the poor. I mean theyre suffering in life wont be paid in the non existant afterlife, so helping others who are less fortunate enjoy their lives might make u happy and fulfilled as well. Hope this helped, and I hope you find meaning !
YOU "HOPED" DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH. HOPE DOES NOT EXIST, REMEMBER?! NOTHING IN THIS SHITTY LIFE WILL FUFIL ME. I MIGHT AS WELL KILL MYSELF SINCE THERE'S ZERO REASON FOR ME TO LIVE.
I strongly suggest calling a hotline for help. I just googled this one: 1-800-273-8255 (if you are in the US). If you won't call based on your own needs, consider the impact on your friends and family should your condition worsen.
AND WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I DO THAT? FEELINGS DON'T MATTER. NOTHING FUCKING MATTERS. THAT'S WHAT I KEEP SEEING YOU ATHEISTS SAY. THERE'S NO GOD, NO MAGIC, ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING. SO WE MIGHT AS WELL NOT EXIST AT ALL.
You know that’s not true.
Tell me what you want me to do.
WHAT I WANT, IS FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME THAT LIFE HAS A MEANING. THAT MIRACLES DO HAPPEN. THAT MAYBE THERE'S A CHANCE THAT WE ARE NOT JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING SPERMS.
Life has meaning.
I hate reality. I hate the "real world". I hate living in the "real world". I hate my entire existence. No matter what I think or believe, I'm always unsatisfied with my life. I just want to end this pain of hopelessness.
You can end hopelessness by asking for someone to help you find the hope.
Except that like you said, hope does not exist. Not when if souls don't. Again, why do you care for me even though you yourself said that you think life is created by a accident?
If you are so intent on "nothing matters" why are you whining about pain and wanting to end it all? If nothing matters then your pain does not matter, death does not matter, you writing what you write does not matter. Having hope or not does not matter, knowing if there is souls or not does not matter, life being created by accident or not does not matter. Your thoughts do not matter, my thoughts do not matter, ending pain does not matter. God existing or not does not matter.
Truth is it all matters to you very much taking your writings at face value.
Either you are confused and being hypocritical and untruthful about "nothing matters" or you are just trolling for responses.
If you are indeed suicidal, I recommend you seek help right away, there is a a lot of free services far better then these boards to help you with suicidal thoughts.
Suffering certainly exists. And it seems you are suffering. Just call the number (1-800-273-8255). You can always hang up if you find it useless.
SO NOW YOU FEEL SORRY FOR ME? NOW YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO HELP ME? WHY?! I'M JUST A BUNCH OF SPERMS. WHY CARE FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS NO SOUL?! FUCKING MORONS.
Well you won't find satisfaction in pointless trolling. It's a rather sad way to spend your time. If you can't cope with the truth then maybe you need to get help. Blaming the truth because you find it unpleasant makes no sense.
You should also note that not one of the many atheists on here share your (claimed) bleak outlook.
Mikey, It is hard to leave religion. Religion has all the answers you need to cope, except the truth. As a human, your innate drive to survive should be kicking in during your transition away from religious beliefs, but with you, it is not. You should ask yourself why not. We are asking that right now. Is he honest in his suffering or not. If you seriously are thinking of suicide, go to the ER or call your doctor, or police/ambulance or the hotline, or a friend or neighbor.
TELL ME THAT WE EXIST FOR A REASON. AND TELL ME IT'S THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. OTHERWISE, YOU ARE JUST A EMPTY HUSK WITH NO FEELINGS WHATSOEVER.
I disagree, as do all the other atheists who have responded. So you're quite demonstrably wrong, again.
