And you still don't get it.
Atheists as a group have nothing in common excepts a non belief in deities. Whatever an atheist does or doesn't do or thinks is not the same for the whole group. Therefore every time you asked me what happens when I die or what to do, I distinctly said what would happen according to me. What I do with my life is up to me. There is no Atheist dogma I need to follow there.
If you think that is meaningless that is up to you, but I am perfectly happy with that.
And morality to me is what you agree with with the community you are part of. You agree to live under a certain society's rules and laws to better that society. This will give you less freedoms as an individual but in exhange a better understanding with your peers.
Why do I think animals have a purpose to life because just like us they live in the world trying to survive, eat, sleep and all the others. What is the point of all fo this for animals if they don't have a meaning in life, just like humans.
Once again tell me your meaning in life.

Then why do you add meaning to your life, if it does not need a meaning at all???????????
Ok, I should have done this way earlier. What is your definition of meaning?
See for me to answer this would be off base. Because all you have to do is say i don't accept that definition of meaning. So if you want to go on what is generally accept by the common people then I will present you that definition of meaning?
