I already told you, I do not require an imaginary being to make my life meaningful. It is really sad that you should require one so desperately otherwise viewing your life as worthless. That is how you see it, not me.
Why you exist - why you survive? The only explanations you have provided are short-sighted ones. Ultimately you live for poofs/nothing - that's what I'm taking away from this. You live for things that will be gone soon.

Does that qualify as a reason? You are good to others for yourself? If you were really good ("the goodness of your own heart") then you would love your enemies also - being a force to end conflict, whether it works or not.

You have no idea how sad atheism sounds, apparently.

Retorth Wrote:God isn't helping in any way in this mad, screwed up world we live in today. He hasn't shown himself or shown infallible evidence to prove himself. How you can still believe he exists is beyond me. I think it isn't me who is the delusional one.
People don't live for God, that's why the world is the way it is. He allows us to be free - as your ideas have proven.
