There is no specific purpose to life ... we're born, we live, we die ... end of story.
The ride however can be exhilarating, you can get value from helping others and progressing our culture and knowing that there is always potential to live on forever in your impact (hopefully positive) on the world around you.
My goal in life is to do the best for my children and the children of others ... I would like to believe I will play some part in making the world a better place for them.
Just because the general process is doom 'n gloom doesn't mean it has to be appreciated/evaluated in that way ... I love life, I love being alive and the fact that I am going to die (scary though that prospect is) sharpens my appreciation of what I have.

But that is simply your opinion and inherently worthless as anything else ... seems to me that pleasure is an end in and of itself at least for some of us. Certainly I will do things (some things) just because I enjoy them.

And what you fail to understand is that it is your choice to view life from the perspective you are ... the vast majority of atheists I know (by which I mean all that I have ever met) find plenty of meaning in their lives, plenty of reason to keep on going, plenty of justification to live moral and full lives.

In other words your entire purpose (as a goal seeking animal capable of setting your own goals) was in some way to attempt to discredit the philosophy of atheism ... clever in a not-very-clever way though as atheism isn't a philosophy, it's a shame you failed
