Quote:I was wondering if any of the atheists in here would like to comment. Have any of you had the same experience?
No.
I have been an atheist all my life and so god and purpose never entered my mind. I only heard of this 'speacial purpose' from theists.
I was an atheist long before I even heard of atheism.
From my secular upbrining, religion was never something that I would dwell on.
Today, I don't think much about purpose or god because I don't believe in either. I just live and enjoy my life to the best of my abilities.
Atheists don't have meaningless lives like many crazy theists would assert. Actually we live very rich and full lives like any other. The only thing atheism is, is lack of belief in god's existance. That's it. That is atheism. Just lack of belief in god. Why many theists fail to understand this still puzzles me.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
