If you're going to bring up semantics like "purposes in life," then ho damn you'd better be ready to have a discussion that will last weeks. I'll just take that as you using mind-numbingly dull rhetoric to make yourself sound like you're a real "tell it like it is" kinda guy, and just simply reply to it with the following:[/quote]
I am, friend. For I think that a purpose makes a person a lot more grown up personally.

this answer reminds me of the guy from no country for old men, oh wait he said "friendo", nevermind. still kinda creeps tho.
anyways CoH, i stay awake for days thinking about this topic. im an athiest and think turning poeple away from religion is nessecary.especially in the the U.S.. this is due some of the conclusions ive drawn. for example even tho i dont believe in god i do believe that we have a few things we "ought " to do or is maybe our purpose if you want to say that. i think advancement of the human race is a purpose we all share and in that broad topic, deconversion is included.
the militant part is essential, but not in the way you say, I.E loud and beligerant! even though thats how i feel internally also. ive thought about the possibilities of a suicide athiest bomber or something to that effect( not me! just entertained the idea), but take a look at the Anders guy in norway who shot like 77 people in a attempt to take back christain europe. in the news today i read that record numbers of youth were signing up for those camps now. obviously force and violence doesnt work. BUT a few ideas that would internet wise would be something like a little online athiest terrorist cell that infiltrates xtain forums and asks question and instigates thought. maybe even comes up with fake circumstances like , my baby just died of some cogenital defect will she go to heaven?, the bible says no...whatever. if you where serious youd do this in a real church somehow with some freinds and convert people from inside the lions den!
this is a serious issue that athiests should seriously discuss. the benefits of a more athiest 'merica are many. mehmet, this is the reason for frustration, your belief in god holds back humanity morally and intellectually on the highest of levels.
