An atheists guide to reality

[Whateverist]

I think without the spiritual realm, value of ourselves and our concept of ourselves would be based on something that doesn't verify* either of those concepts. At the very least, to find meaning, you have to find value in yourself. I find that we do have intuitive sense of value but when thought from perspective that spiritual doesn't exist, it seems it has no basis and is just fabricated in our minds.

*My bolding.

I don't think there are any guarantees regardless of what beliefs you adopt. You make your choices and then you reap your rewards and consequences. That's it, other than a little harumphing and pleading from those who would have it otherwise.
