Why is life worth living as an atheist?

[Zone]

I like this hypothetical game...

My life would take a substantial hit. Yes, it would probably devastate me enough to at minimum, contemplate suicide. But my hopes are that I would realize that my family would never want this of me. The best thing I could do is not to dishonor their memory by ending my own life. No deity needed.

So you believe your family would be waiting for you on the other side and are still observing your life? You see that's a very Christian way of looking at it. But if instead they no longer exist they are no longer a consideration so what you would have to do then is take your life. But with God through his son Jesus Christ life would still be worth living as through that your family would still be an important part of your life. A family of God, it has Jesus, the Holy Spirit and a bunch of angels in it.

I did not build my life around snowboarding. Snowboarding fell into the life I was already building. If I lose my legs, I would be emotionally crushed. However, I've seen quite a few paralyzed/legless people still enjoying the snow. Although I wouldn't be snowboarding, I'd still be shredding the pow somehow. Suicide is not an option. No deity needed.

You could enjoy the snow and also enjoy the eternal salvation and love of God through Jesus as well. So you would be more happy with the crushed legs and a living heart of faith than you would be with legs and snowboarding.

I see no God in the stars. In fact, looking up is what sparked my road to non-belief. That's right, the very stars that you claim were made by the hands of God are what made me believe that she does not exist. I do see glory and goodness, but it is through chaos. The Universe is filled to the brim with things that can kill us in an instant. Massive stars exploding and creating absolute destruction in its wake. Yet, that destruction brings life. Asteroids bombarding planets constantly. Yet, sometimes they bring water. The Universe is orderly in a completely non-orderly way.

But through that chaos and destruction life was formed, seeing as our bodies and everything you see on Earth was formed from the heart of dead exploded stars. So death is a part of the cycle of life and that cycle was initaed by an eternal changless living God whose handiwork you can see and appreacite in the heavens and on Earth.

I could lose my eyes, but I won't lose my love of Astronomy. The visuals are only a minute part of it. No deity needed.

You would see very much looking down a telescope without an eyeball. But you don't need to see God to experience his presence in your life right now through Christ.
