What does an atheist hold in high esteem or worship?

I know you don't highly regard a higher power, but I'm sure you worship something. What is most important to you, what's the best thing?

Do you even know the meaning of the word worship?

Reverent honor and homage paid to God or a sacred personage, or to any object regarded as sacred; the object of adoring reverence or regard - Source: Dictionary.com

I don't pay homage to any thing or any one neither do I regard any thing or any one as sacred.

If people weren't suffering somewhere then no one would have an opportunity to help anyone. And I believe that this life isn't all there is to it, so though it be painful - it's not all there is to it.

So now you're saying god allowed suffering? Imagine a family in the heart of Africa, looking up to the sky and praying for health and the chance that they might live another day and not succumb to starvation and ill health. You try and tell them "some people just have to suffer so others can help". Imagine if you were in their shoes, do you think you'd feel that same way? I reckon not.

That's not good enough according to Jesus or me, what about all your enemies and strangers?

I don't believe in jesus so why do I care? lol But for the sake the argument:

What about them?

I don't live for my enemies. I do not go around making enemies either. I recognize that there will always be assholes in this world but I don't go finding trouble.

What does that mean?

It means experiencing what life has to offer. A family, friends, career, exploring new places, games and much more. There is so much to life but you theists narrow-mindedly focus on god god god god. If you could only open your mind up to the vastness that is this world. Look at people as people and not "you are a man of this god; you are a man of that god".

You live for nothing.

Correction; you are the one living for nothing because you cannot prove with even a shred of solid evidence that what you worship and adore like a pawn even exists. You may have a way with fancy words and terminology but the fact still remains, he claimed a second coming to be "soon" yet its been a thousand years and zilch.

Life does need the supernatural to make sense - otherwise explain it, if you will. And yes, I am dissatisfied with what I have around me - it's called evil, selfishness, impatience, and on and on.

Let me clarify, your life may need the supernatural but mine does not. Everyone has their right to have whatever requisites they desire in their own lives. How about you tell me why you think life needs the supernatural. You are the one claiming the need for something that isn't there. Please do share
