Palihug nalang basa sa mga previous posts nako aron makasabot ka why i'm posting these statements.. Ang mga pangutana sa TS had been satisfactorily addressed and answered on the early pages of this thread, actually page one palang natubag na..

ambot ba unsa na klase sa tubag ila gi require? or nibasa ba gyud kaha?

I have some confusion with Atheists belief:

With so much sufferings and Problems we face in this world, whats the reason Atheist still able to struggle to live? why Atheists still follows the rules even if Doesn't Have to because according to his belief he is Not bounded to any Laws?(even if it will make his Life difficult?) and Why do Atheist look forward to the Future struggling as if there's an specific Purpose of life But believes that Life is created by Random in the first place?

I struggle to live because I want to max out my potentials as a human being and see what this world can offer in the span of my short lifetime. Granted, its a very selfish reason, but I'm honest to myself and quite happy about it. And contrary to popular belief, atheists are indeed bound by laws, whether personal or society-driven, because it serves as a guide for his continued existence (i.e we obviously won't do anything that would assure our destruction or non-existence in the near future). I know this is a bit demeaning to others and a bit haughty but, yes, I think if a person doesn't have the amount of curiosity, enthusiasm and zest for life that I have, given what I know about my own intelligence, capabilities and potentials, I guess it would be very hard for that person to enjoy life without having to call upon a supreme being for guidance and support. But I'm fairly content not having to depend on such a thing.

I always like to think of this analogy:

Let's say I was going to be locked in a room with someone for 24 hours, and all the room has is a table with several sheets of bond paper and two pencils...there is no TV, Radio, no books, no magazines, no iPod, no cellphone, not anything that will occupy a person's time. There won't even be food. In this situation, I know there is a good chance the person beside me will probably feel really bored, perhaps even go a bit hysterical or panicky, knowing that this room is so empty and boring, and in fact, the best thing this person will probably attempt is keep talking to me, and perhaps even get irritated at me for ignoring him/her. The reason I'll probably ignore him/her from time to time, is because I'll be busy sketching/drawing, or making origami, or writing a poem/story. In short, there are so many things to preoccupy me that the 24 hours kulang pa gani na sa ako, and I can even be so absorbed with what I'm doing that I sometimes forget that I need to eat diay.

If that empty room is a representation of "life without a god", then from my perspective it's not really empty, because I possess abilities that would occupy my time, and in fact I'll enjoy while I stay there. I do feel sorry for the other person who perhaps doesn't have my enthusiasm for drawing/sketching/origami/writing, and perhaps the best thing I then can do, is to try and teach that person so that he/she can also do what I do, so the person wouldn't be miserable while staying in the room.

Because we are intelligent beings and society demands that we act in a certain way to maintain order and ensure our survival.

Thats the same story with asking why during the tsunami and earthquake, the people in japan did not resort to looting or anarchy despite there not being any police or authority. While sa katrina, some people did resort to looting and other forms of violence.

Its largely based on culture and societal influences.

Its largely dependent
