Is the point of life love and not sin? Let's see, Christianity (the hated religion) and Buddhism (the "cool" religion) are the same way to the same kind of thing and both have love and sinlessness at the center. So even if I am an atheist I should still follow the rules of religion because it is correct.
No matter what you believe you can't go wrong by not sinning any more. This includes masturbating, porn, womanizing, rape and all impure lowly passions of Hell.
And btw, atheists think that they can be Buddhist without believing in an afterlife even though Buddha said there was one...
Even cold hard business men love "giving back" - this is fundamental to every religion
IF you think I'm a faggot who tried, say "you tried, fag"
I want to be happy. I want the people around me to be happy. Making people happy, makes me happy.
Boom, purpose of life, nailed it.
No need to make shit overly complex.
I don't need a scripture nor god to tell me what's already instinctively in my heart, just follow your gut and act reasonable. We don't know why we are here, we will never know because our mortal minds cannot understand the mechanics of the universe. We aren't meant to. Anyone who claims to know is a fucking bullshitter.

The instinct of most people is not to make others happy, and there are ways to be happy without ever making others happy. Also, there are other ways you do wrong even if it makes you or others happy - that's why you need a religion to tell you what morals to have, you would follow your lower desires.

>happy
That's a dangerous path you've chosen
I wonder how far you would go to achieve that temporary state constantly

I'm not constantly happy, but every now and then something happens that make me happy and those moments are my reason of living.
I give, often more than I get in return but when I get something in return I know that I've met a likeminded person and truthfully that's all I want in life. A family and a small likeminded community of friends around me to just enjoy life with.
I'm slowly moving closer to that goal and everyday I feel like I'm getting constantly more and more happy.

>constantly more and more happy
Good luck with that
I don't like that feeling, It only adds to the dread knowing how easily its lost

Everything is temporary, I will lose it all in the end anyway. Whatever happens, happens.
I just want some nice memories to think about and maybe someone to hold my hand when I'm an old shit laying on his deathbed unable to do anything else but think.
Maybe life consists of more pain than joy, maybe that's how it's supposed to be. I don't know, all I know is that I don't want to die, but I sure as hell will.

>I will lose it all in the end anyway
Yeah but sometimes its hard living with the losses but that's part of maturing I suppose

I like the reincarnation theory when you apply our new understanding of the universe, most people are from another world
