A Non-Religious Person's Meaning in Life and Death

[abaris]

The question to me isn't whether or not this life has meaning to an atheist or not.  It's more that the atheist is not experiencing the entire meaning of life because he doesn't believe in the afterlife.

Or, the atheist doesn't wear the ball and chains of playing nice nice to their particular brand of whatever whoo. The atheist can enjoy life to it's fullest. Death is just biology taking it's course.

Personally, I wouldn't want to be associated with what some christians call values. They certainly don't rise up to Jesus's standards and yet think of themselves as predestines for the fast track to heaven. Such as, caring for the poor - Jesus was pretty adamant about that, you know. There's even that quote about a camel and the eye of a needle.
