If we are nothing but a bunch of cells and sperms that had evolved over time, then why must we care and love one another? And no, saying that we need others to survive is not an valid answer. I don't care about surviving. If life's is just about surviving, then that means we should only care about ourselves and nothing else. So that means that hospitals and medicine and things like that should not exist. Nothing in ever matters so we might as well die and not exist since nothing we ever do as humans will accomplish a single thing. So why bother? God does not exist. Heaven does not exist. Spirits don't exist. The only thing that exists is just us in a dark, empty void with a bunch of gases that we call the universe. That's it. So we should need to live a long, happy life since we will just die and soon be forgotten and wither away. Life comes from nothing, death means we become nothing, therefore life itself means absolutely nothing. I hate atheism.
All the things you say are very true, but this is the pessimistic way of looking at it.
Life isn't about the result. Religion has you believing it's about going to heaven or hell, but it's not. It's about the moment. I mean, technically, it's not about anything because it doesn't matter. But to people it should be about the moment. Because this moment is all we have, and we can do whatever with the moment. To me, this is what life is about. It's about embracing that we do have a short time that will come crashing down in the end, and it will be so insignificant if you look at the big picture, but I will make it mean something to me. And the meaning of life can be whatever I want it to be, because it's my life. But the only time I have to decide that is right now, because this moment goes fast and I'll never get it back, so I better spend it doing what I want to do because I will never have another chance to embrace it.
Living for the moment rather than the result(heaven or hell) has made life so much more meaningful to me. Because I'm living for me, and that's a meaning of life that makes so much more sense to me rather than a life where the purpose was to serve a God. Now that is what seemed pointless.
