I disagree, an atheist really can't claim that life began by total accident and then claim life has a purpose... what is the endgame exactly?
Quote:If we look at animals for instance we can see their purpose within an ecosystem, there is a reason for example that predators exist.If you say so...but, why would any of this be relevant to meaning in my life?
Quote:The purpose of the human being is to serve God, and you accomplish that by living for others. If you live a selfish lifestyle then your life IS meaningless. Not to say there aren't selfish so-called Christians, but an atheist ideology could indeed influence one to lead or believe they lead a meaningless life.That might be your purpose, it's not mine. In any case, whats missing here and from your entire post is a demonstration that meaninglessness follows from atheism.
I often find -and this is anecdotal- that atheists with notions of meaninglessness have been influenced more by your religion and religious claims than by atheism, in making such remarks. Wallym, for example, worries that the term is "loaded"...but loaded with what? Your bullshit, in all likelihood.
