Why is life worth living as an atheist?

In life, my family would want me to move on after any possible tragedy. I did not mean they are observing me in the afterlife. It's a matter of honoring their memory. No deity needed.

But as a true God fearing the memory of your family would be something to inspire you in the hope that one day you will be reunited but as an atheist the moemory will only remind you of your eternal loss. So suicide would then be your only option. So this is why you must convert to true faith, right now because you can't know what the future may bring.

You would still have your love of snowboarding but you will also have a love of God in addition to that. So you will have nothing to lose by getting yourself into that baptismal font and being born a new in Christ. Snowboarding is only a temporal thrill while God that's a permanent and everlasting head rush.

No I'm an agnostic playing Devils Advocate. I can appreciate what Christians believe and why so I'm throwing this stuff at you.

I say "first time" because Genesis 1 talks about man being created after vegetation then Genesis 2 talks about man being created from dirt before vegetation. Oh there was something about an omnipotent being resting on the 7th day which. Nowhere in this clusterfuck does it mention man being created from dead stars. No deity needed.

The order of creation described in Genesis apparently matches with the order in which the Earth and the solar was formed.

1) God creates the heaven and earth without form and commands there to be light—a perfect description of the big bang

2) God creates dry land out of the waters; water is crucial for life

3) God brings forth grass, herb yielding seed and fruit trees which are nothing of the sort, but rather photosynthesising life in general, cyanobacteria in particular (bacteria which can photosynthesise).

4) The sun and moon had previously been created at some point. It is now that the first eye evolves which could distinguish between day and night.

5) abundant sea life evolves in direct response to the evolution of vision.

6) Creation of birds, then animals, cattle and finally homo sapiens

7) God has a rest

I don't need to see the heavens (not your heaven) to experience the presence of the Universe coursing through my veins. Besides, I have had the pleasure of sight all my life. The imagery of the Universe is forever etched into my brain. No deity needed.

You just claimed that what is within you will last forever even though you must know that your physical brain actually won't. So demonstating that you have a belief in the unseen spiritual realm of which we all form an part through the everlasting grace of God.
