  The general atheist meaning of life

  i have posted this on another forum where i mentor on spirituality and i am posting here again.. when things like spirituality are no longer present in one's life, they may or may not stop looking for meaning.

  meaning is an essential part of human psychology, though some feel the need for it less than others, and even a few seemingly don't at all.

  there also seems to be a trend that occurs: in the lack of a meaning of life, the brain tries to find one, because it sees a purpose for everything.. .

  Qcmbr- Thanks for your sincerity, many are too proud to admit they are really dark internally.

  When you nitpick, you start finding little holes in thinking like that, and then those little holes tend to grow.
  
  Technically speaking, from a physical standpoint we're a random mass of atoms. If I have no fear of being killed, why shouldn't I kill you for disagreeing with me?
  
  A hypothetical situation that is possible but highly improbable:
  Lets say I can't be killed, and my possessions are 100% safe for sure. Why shouldn't I kill other people, even if it brings me pleasure? Why shouldn't I steal more?
  
  You get what I am saying? In situations where there won't be consequences, and you can be sure of it, without religion there's no point in stopping.

  What a pity?, atheists don't believe they need a "purpose", and they dont even try figuring out that purpose for themselves. they only have the self given assignment, (i.e. worker, wife, mother, vegetable grower, etc). That's ridiculous.

  BTW - JonathanH- B y calling me a liar, You come across like a stupid fool, an Idiotic buffoon. Write the university of Tromso, they will give you every information you need to know about me. I have no time for you.

  What this thread is to address is the most commonly assumed purpose of living associated with atheism, but is rarely consciously understood: survival. The survival of life is the most common thing that is subconsciously assumed to be the only purpose for survival. From this perspective, things like art, music and spirituality are considered to be mere psychological needs.
  
  Though, to most it may seem like simply a depressing state of mind, it is hypothetically dangerous. Religion may have literally evolved physically because it supports clan efforts to make sacrifices for the group even when they may not recieve something in return. Due to this, they survived strongly as a group because they needed each other to watch out for each other. The only way they could sustain a tribe from a lack of morality in desperate times is fear of a diety, or promise of a better life, which only comes from religion.
  
  If the purpose of life is simply to survive, then there's really no reason why I shouldn't lie, cheat and steal. My instincts tell me not to, but others may come to the conclusion that their instincts need to be overridden with "reason," and that their desires should be met by whatever means necessary.
  
  A lot of this is subconscious, and it is part of why atheists won't succeed without first philosophizing the "whys" of life. Why not kill? Why not lie? Why not cheat? Why do any of these things if I'm not going to get something back, and especially if I'm not going to suffer consequences?
