How do atheists find meaning in life?
If there's no afterlife and nothing we do matters in the long run, what's the point?
>>68131631
fear of death
If all you think about is cosmology and the universe, your life is going to seem too small for you to care about it.
it's all about the frame in which you live.
>>68131631
If this is the only existence there is, might as well make the best of it.

Cause you only have one

this tbqh
>realize nothing matters anymore
>stop caring because it doesn't matter
>do whatever I want
>???
>profit!
unfortunately when you get far enough along you end up realizing that the world is incredibly uninteresting
>>68131631
To have fun
So you assume nothing matters because there's no afterlife?
Do you need a prize of eternal bliss in order to live your life? Or can you attempt to make the best out of it while you're alive?¿
>>68131631
Well, what's the point of life if it's just a middle point - a step before the afterlife?
You could ask what the point of an afterlife is too.
>>68131631
That's the whole rationale behind hedonism. If you don't believe in judgement in the afterlife you are free to do whatever the fuck you want in life with no moral code to stop you.
>>68131631
they shove bananas up their asses
>>68131631
T.bh, atheists don't really have a meaning in their lives. And they can't really be bothered to "create" one
>>68131917
You can't /thread your own post, you massive faggot. That's Chan Etiquette 101.

>atheists don't really have a meaning in their lives
>implying you need religion to have a sense of purpose and satisfaction in life
wew lad.
>>68131631
They fill it with their SJW causes.
>>68131631
>what's the point?
Let's get this out of the way from the start, this is exactly why atheism isn't for everyone. Not everyone can ask that question and come out with an answer. Can you make your own meaning for your life or not? If you can't, it's best to stay religious.
>>68132978
How do you know? Are you one?
>>68131631
What's the meaning of afterlife if there's no after-afterlife?
>>68131631
It's funny that once you're in a cult, its impossible to live your life normally.
Its simple really, I know for a fact there is no god. You have the right to believe in whatever you want.
>>68132978
Maybe you can't, but that's up to you, is it not?
>>68131631
Religion is for the weak minded, ultimate bluepill desu senpai
afterlife if that's all there is to live for why don't you kill yourself
>"religion"
can we stop it with this dead meme?
>>68131631
You guys do know there is a growing group of atheists who believe in reincarnation right?
They study science/philosophy and form they own opinions about existance.
>>68133713
I wouldn't call atheism a cult, just misinformation.
>>68132978
and religious people are the enlightened ones who found the great answer, eh?

Third post best post

Atheism isn't a religion, All religion is equally as dangerous and stupid. Islam happens to be a whole lot more stupid and dangerous.
Why does life have to mean anything?
Human morality is a social construct. Either obey or face the earthly consequences of your actions.
If theist heaven is so good, why don't theists do more dangerous stuff that can get them there quicker?
>>68131772
as a fedora tipper it's pretty much this.
My time being alive is very limited so I want to make the most of it and leave people better off than they were before I got here.
It's pretty simple but religiousfags will grasp to their muh god-given morality strawman regardless
>>68134876
Life doesn't mean anything, you have no inherent purpose
that's why you have to assign yourself one and get to work on it.
>>68131631
>If there's no afterlife and nothing we do matters in the long run, what's the point?
What? You're retarded. If this live is all there is everything matters. If there's an afterlife would be situation where nothing we do really matters. Holy shit, stop being stupid.
>>68131631
How can you find meaning in a fucking book written thousands of years ago by sandpeople.
>>68131772
This. Humans are innately programmed to seek satisfaction via calculating profit and loss. Most don't know what death means; it falls outside of our ability to calculate, so automatically it's lumped into the "loss" category.
>>68132495
That's a shortsighted philosophy, because deferring gratification can and often does yield greater profit later. Displaying no moral code to others likewise shuts doors leading to greater satisfaction. Hedonism is the lifestyle of an idiot.
>>68136538
Would you argue that in 1000 years no book from today could possibly teach anyone anything?
>>68137058
There is a fine distinction between "anyone anything" and "everyone everything."
>>68131631
>If there's no afterlife and nothing we do matters in the long run, what's the point?
Dunno, how about living?
>>68131631
1) This isn't politics
2) >>68131856 is what I came here to say
>>68131772
>muh death
meh.
>>68131631
What's the point of the afterlife
