Yes. Saying life is worth living for life's sake is rather circular. Your next response of 'family' isn't good enough either - according to Jesus or me - what about all the strangers or enemies?
What do you intend to waste your life on? Because, according to you, the best it can be is a waste.

Perhaps your colon will suffice for your lips? Then, obviously, I might ask you to take your head out of your own ass...whatever good that might do.

Well we certainly don't live our life waiting for death or expecting judgement from the intergalactic dictator, we don't live our lives thinking that this is only the trial period or thinking that the best part of existence (heaven) isn't even part of this life.
That wasn't the question, but I applaud you for highlighting the obvious.

I'd like to think we atheists as a whole (though i claim not to speak for anyone) like to look at life as an adventure; something to be lived and experienced....
Ok, so you finally got around to saying something that you would do. I have a question in response, naturally, which is: what does this, effectively, so called 'the adventure of life' consist of?
