"Meaning" and "purpose" are what some humans trouble themselves over. I say, knowledgeably devise your own obligations and follow them through.

This is what I have dealt with in the Military, and dealing with working with the Military. They feel like they are being attacked by Atheist existence.

There must be a god! I just went to revamp my rep to give pride of place to this snot slinger of a zinger only to discover I hadn't. Oh baby!

That's conservative Christians in general, which the military has a lot of.

I think his third post in this thread might have more explanatory power:

"Evolution has an end goal, which I understand to be that humans, or whatever orgasm beats us there, become transcended "godlike" beings that shed these mortal bodies and live as immortals.

Perhaps that is the end goal of Atheism? If you stray onto the religious path your evolutionary journey will be abruptly halted by the taint of religion, and your great, great, great, great, etc, grandchildren will never know the eternal bliss of godhood.

Does that make sense?"

You said orgasm <snigger>

I must admit I'm struggling to see what the hell he was on about there. It's like there's a punchline missing. Otherwise I thought he was straight up.
