Now that I am an atheist, I am having trouble finding my purpose in life. So the question is now what? I need to find the point to being alive. That may sound somewhat depressive or suicidal of me, but I swear its not. I find wonder in this amazing world, I just want to know where I fit in. I want to do something worth my time. I don't want to waste my life. I need a purpose.
Did anyone here feel a loss of purpose when you became an atheist? How did you find your purpose? Do you have any suggestions on some philosophy to read? Any advise on finding my purpose? Do you have any stories you would like to share?
Your purpose in life is to try not to die for as long as possible. This increases your chance of propagating the species.
That's it, in a nutshell.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
