Seems that they (and I) are not willing to accept ancient superstition in lieu of evidence, either. Perhaps even the notion that life has to have a "purpose" is merely a reflection of humanity's overinflated view of itself?
How is it egotistical to think things happen for a reason? Do you reject science as egotistical too?

Let me know if I get off track:
If you don't believe that we exist for a reason, then you must believe we weren't created. If the universe wasn't created, then do you think it has existed forever - and will cyclically exist forever? You must then think you will exist in the future, over and over forever. Why/How would you consider this life special then? Why would you believe in living according to standards (morals)?
