They day every iota of our lives isn't controlled by religion is the day atheists should let it go. We do tend to "live and let live" much more frequently than believers. It's time for you to look in the mirror.

This is so sad. I'm so glad I wasn't raised this way.
I was raised that way I really wish I wasn't. It makes life so small and pointless.
really?
You can't make your life fun? You can't enjoy your kids or your spouse or your friends and family?
You're pathetic.
blaming some BS on your unhappiness
We make our own happiness. And that's why religion is such a crock of shit.
Perhaps the Religion board is the wrong place for you, love. And I feel sorry for you.
So by making my own happiness instead of relying on an "outside source" as a reason for living, you feel sorry for me?
I don't feel sorry for myself.
I'm happy with my decision to make the most out of life.
As I said earlier, let's just LIVE instead of LIVING FOR. But yet, when I say that religion is selfish - that it's self-serving - I'm attacked. I don't tithe to earn a spot in heaven.

Speaking for myself and for some people I know, that is not the case. Certainly the stories of many religions could be called "meaningless dramas."

Jesus rose from the dead? Give me a break!
You sound very narrow-minded. I'm sure your daily drama provides you with much meaning, so carry on
+1 All the power to you. Keep marking off the days on the calendar.

I've often wondered how someone who doesn't believe in any existence after this one keeps tucking away this bit of knowing, that all of this ends abruptly and then nothing.
Maybe that person is concentrating on living life to the fullest and not worrying about things they can't change, like the course of nature -- of life and death that they see all around them
Maybe they are grateful for the incredible accident of being born in the first place and don't demand eternal life on to top of the great undeserved gift of being born.
Unfortunately, they're not. They're most commonly enveloped in their made-up stupid, little, meaningless drama of some sort, drowning in their own pettiness. Not pretty.
