If Atheists have nothing to look forward to, what is the point of the life they are living? The question of origin very complex. I think that it is very doubtful life to believe in just one thing, but, living with no purpose is not right. It can't be right! There are so many confusions and questions about why we are here, but, it MUST lead down to one answer! Isn't that what the Atheists believe? Everything started from one single molecule? Then it made more, and more and more... I must say that nobody knows the full answer to my question of life. Even though it may talk about it in the Bible, it is not thoroughly pr oven, to me. Everybody has their doubts.
We look forward to living our life in the 'here and now'. There is nothing after life, so we try and live life to its fullest. Why would anyone life their life to look forward to death??
You are making a huge assumption. Atheist, don't look forward to anything after death. They believe that once the body dies, that's it. No white light, no chorus of angles, just then END. So the point of life is not to get to some after life, it's to live fully in the here and now. They have the same dreams and desires as all other people, good friends, family, love, success...
Why don't you ask Bill Gates. He is one of the most well known atheist around today.
I hear that he is spending Billions of dollars to make the world a better place. He (and his wife) are giving away more money then anyone ever has by far.
How is that for living with a purpose ! ?
Gates is an Atheists that really is making the world a better place - what are you doing ?
There really isn't anything to look forward to, but at the same time it's nothing to be scared of either. Imagine before you were born you felt nothing, knew nothing, time passed by without any sort of reference. This is how I think of death. Kind of like a relativelyflup. Anywayz if your into the whole conservation of energy concept( energy cannot be created or destroyed) than nobody ever really dies. Your energy is just transformed into some other form.
Living this life in freedom instead of servitude. Your philosophy is anti-life. You sacrifice this life in the hopes of something better after you die. It is, as most religions are, death-worship.
Saying "nobody knows the full answer to my question of life" is a co pout. It's argument from ignorance. You're basically saying that if the evidence can't explain everything to your satisfaction, you'll just believe what you want. That is fundamentally irrational.
If you truly had faith, you wouldn't care what "atheists" thought. True faith needs no evidence or proof. By questioning atheists and admitting that there has to be some sort of logic you basically admit that you don't really believe what you're preaching.
I'm a rationalist. I don't claim to have all the answers to the universe. Neither does science. We leave such absolutism to coreligionists. However, as a rationalist I believe that the universe is rational. In a rational universe there is no place for god. (That is, there is no evidence.) It is the burden of the claimant to prove existence and not the other way around. This is not a matter of saying "I don't believe god exists." The concept is rejected as irrational. There is simply not one shred of evidence that a supreme being created everything.
What do Atheists look forward to after death?
