i agree... it's hard to find any meaning, purpose, value, anything in an atheistic world.
Cucked by god imagine being in eternal servitude to another being
If you really believe that why wouldnt you just kill yourself? No action has any impact unless you plan to live through the consequences. You can justify anything in the moment by saying we're all gonna die but when you wake tomorrow, very much alive, what then? If you never learn to read that's gonna leave a big mark unless you dont plan to live past 7. If you are a b**** to everyone around you that's gonna leave a big mark unless you're never gonna hang out with those guys again. You get the idea
i don't appreciate being called a meat automaton u b****.
we only here to experience life and follow intuition, u won't be doing either if you stay in your head thinking about death

religious people need that hope to get out of bed in the morning... imagine if everyone realized that life was meaningless and had no objective purpose..

Happened to me when I was 16. I found the things I liked after years of depression and suicide and pursued them with an earnest interest
I am the happiest I’ve been
so are you saying that people with unlivable lives keep on going for no real reason? Seems pretty sad to me.
It’s about you, it’s not about some objective meaning
Being nonpartisan is contradictory to the subjective experiences you have every day. Find what you do and like it without shame

No such thing as an unlivable life. I’ve seen heroin addicts under bridges in Kabul be thankful for their lives because they live a different one every day. They live in hope of recovery. They live to see themselves overcome.
There is victory in climbing a hill, mental or physical. Pat yourself on the back for even the smallest victories. The biggest victories are those that make you want to come back for more

What if what you like to do is cause havoc and spread evil?

i couldn't imagine having such a terrible life, but needing to live through it thinking that nothing will ever improve and that I'll just die someday with no hope after that would be even more brutal.
so for somebody like you, who has a pretty good life, sure, subjective purpose can exist and sort of mean something. If you were to distract yourself enough with watching tiktok, you wouldn't have to think much about "existential angst" or whatever as an atheist, and you could callously ignore this major problem.

I’ve never met someone irl who’s mission was to be negative and evil with purpose even the lowest of the low think that their self service is something good for THEM

here's an example
they're born into a slum, a parasite blinds them at a young age, their family leaves them because they can't take care of them. They have to walk the streets and a car hits them, so now they can't really even do that. Slowly this person's ears go bad too. now they can't really walk well or see at all and have to scrounge for food, don't know where their family is, etc. people constantly take the little money or food they can gain because there's nothing they can do about it.
I hope you’re okay op. I’ve only gotten down these rabbit holes when my mental was poor
OP just had his first existential crisis

I Never Said you can’t believe in god or that he doesn’t exist, you’re just cucked if you think I’m boutta be on that kinda wave when I can live my own life without regret
And why would anyone need to live through a life thinking nothing will improve? That’s not how life works and that’s not how you make results

Okay, so they’re in a bad position. Let’s apply knowledge of their position to YOU. You clearly aren’t them, you’re posting about an existential crisis on a forum. Why are you suddenly so callous as to think your life is meaningless when you clearly have pity for these people and can work towards something that can help them?
No lol i do know i will die and its part of the reason i do what i do or wanna do
I dont care about being remembered, i care about what comes after me
I never understood that eternal s*** anyways but whatever
Death is inevitable & everyone does it, but you can do whatever you want/can to the best of your availability before it does
Life isnt about you its about generations

I mean, religious ideals/rituals have largely taken on secular forms
The shortcoming of a lot of militant atheists is that they don’t realize this and end up perpetuating the same religious values under a secular clothing, being very unaware of it
It’s why I largely believe that politics can never transcend moralism and ethics, no matter how hard it claims to
