Few Questions for Atheists:

Hello, Saeedalyousuf. Welcome to the forum.

1. This is a very broad question. Atheists are just people with many varying opinions and ideas about a lot of different things. Really the only thing that atheists have in common with each other, by definition, is that we don't believe in a god.

2. Who says there is an objective for human life? Are you assuming there is a grand purpose or plan for human life, our planet, the universe? Upon what evidence do you base this assumption?

3. Atheists tend to rely on consensus of opinion from dedicated scientists about the existence and future of the universe. There is no evidence that the laws of physics are likely to change but there does seem to be some evidence that the energy of the universe will eventually be expended and the universe will burn out... or not. We really don't know. There are many things we simply can't know because we don't have enough data.

Hello Saeed,

As Blondin states, as a group there is no defining belief system that atheists have, it is a common non-belief in gods and or religion.

On a personal level I believe we are nothing more than lucky animals, able to reason and build, we are one of the few 'self aware' species on this planet. My life is no different than a rhino in Africa or a moose in
Canada or a bacteria on your keyboard. Just another animal, I was born naked, and will end up dead and naked, hopefully much later. Because I have a limited life span and there is nothing after, and I mean I believe deeply that this is it and we have do everything in between our birth and our death. Thinking about supernatural beings and homes in the sky when I die is a complete waste of time , ya get one life, don't waste it.

Again I agree with Blondin, who says there has to a real objective for the human life?
But this is something I think is simple to explain anyway. Like a spider male, but without the missing head (although , she who must be obeyed, has come close), the continuation of the species is our objective. Humans seem to have other ways other than procreation, life helpers, or life savers, or educators, etc. Survival of the species. Eat, sleep and lots of sex. Nothing supernatural there, just super.

Ah, that was right after the 3rd, sort of surprise kid! She who must be obeyed said chop chop.

Do you believe in fairies? How about unicorns? Leprechauns? Bigfoot? Loch Ness Monster? How about Zeus? Odin? Osiris? Wotan? Intimanipuchi? Santa Claus?

If not, why not?

Your question implies that you think I have gone shopping for a belief system and decided I liked atheism the best. This is not the case. I was brought up in a religious environment but simply could not bring myself to "have faith". Eventually I came to the realization that faith is merely choosing to believe things without regard for truth. I am interested in what is true.

So, to answer your question, I have no reason to disbelieve in gods. I simply see no evidence that any exist.

For me being a new and blooming faithless person, I tried really hard to "believe" and have "faith". i however found that believing in Love and trusting in Hope was more tangible than throwing all my life into something i can't see or hasn't given anything back to me.

Like Hope...." gee dude, i hope this works" and it does...So I didn't "pray" for a fix or solution; i put my trust in hope and it happened. Like Love...My wife loves me and my kids too...i see their love, I feel loved and i can touch that person knowing that their love is unconditional and more importantly they never tell me that i'm going to "hell" or "send me money" (well sometimes the kids do). All these things are just day to day things that I aspect as fact and truth.

Humans evolved and continue to look for the science in life itself. Just like the universe, science continues to find new and exciting proof that there is more out there than just our nine little planets. To me (now) ...(and to quote) "a guiding star beats a spirit in the sky". Like Blondin said, gods; as they were slowly proven over time to have some scientific explanation, then early people stopped using them...i.e. Thor, Cupid, Medusa, king Neptune. Science proved what thunder is. Proved what lightning is...people believed it...Science is continuing to answer question of beliefs. It's up to ones own intellect to accept what has been shown to be fact.
