If everyone dies and there's nothing beyond that, then that would put more value on this life, more incentive to do something, to be someone, to make this life count. There's a quote that says "Life is like a coin, you can spend it on whatever you want, but you can only spend it once." That's pretty much my philosophy. Every moment that we spend bickering, as much as I enjoy it, are moments that are gone forever, every day that you procrastinate doing something with yourself, is a day wasted, and we are all marching forward towards our inevitable demise. Life is short, sweet, and not always fair, but it's the one tangible thing that you have. :twocents:
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
