Do atheists believe in the existence of friendship?

[Mister Agenda]

Meh, skimming through the thread because I am board so I'll bite.

We are all evolved biomechanical automatons who exist because of pure luck.  Friendship exists because of networking between units.  Ideally this is a symbiotic relationship instead of a parasitic one, but many times the latter is true, though that still can be symbiotic in a way as one party just feeds into the others narcissism and possibly gets entertainment out of it (at least that's why I did it, and also she was hot and I was dumb.)

Proving friendship exists is easy from a personal perspective, as I have my friends and sometimes we hang out, get food, watch movies, and complain about idiot theists who ask dumb questions.  There is proof of friendship by the clear actions taken from the friends.  Friendships can end if there is a fight, one/both parties die, or it can dissolve over time through attrition and one day you just stop taking to eachother.

I only skimmed the thread though so I may have missed the point.

Are we automatons? Maybe. But we can be magnificent automatons!
