    • "Life" itself is an experience. Atheists are experiencing it in all its beauty. It is not as simple as a measurement.monospaced
    • You're experiencing life. not atheism broh.yurimon
    • You are too wrapped up in an identity with no meaning. no different then a style like hipsters.yurimon
    • I disagree and take offense that you feel an atheist has "no meaning." That only shows your narrow-mindednessmonospaced
    • Life itself is spiritual in that we are all part of this big ecosystem. It's larger than us and awe-inspiring and beautiful.monospaced
    • Yes, I'm living life. My experiences are not lesser because I don't attribute the good/bad to a 3rd party.monospaced
    • You dont experience life as an ism broh. Do you say oh look a flower. as an atheist its pretty. ner ner neryurimon
    • no, of course not, because atheism isn't a belief system. And no religion would make my perceptions any different.monospaced

    • so is every fucking human being until they're told to believe in some shitmonospaced
    • Nope. You're wrong about that too.Morning_star
    • Actually, I'm not. Take any human being born into this world and do not tell them about religion. They will not find Jebus.monospaced
    • Jebusmonospaced
    • True. But I would argue that human beings have an instinctive spiritual need. Just look at any of the isolated tribes found in the Amazon etc. Every single one WITHOUT FAIL have spiritual beliefs and ceremonies.Morning_star
