You are thinking of a too narrow focus my friend. Think grander. I'm an atheist, but look at someone like Jesus. Lets assume he was a real person for a moment, not magical, maybe a little insane and full of revolutionary ideas. Perhaps the people of his time would never accept his version of the world, a peaceful one, simply because it might cause them a loss of station or because 'that's the way we always did it' or because 'the old gods said it was ok'. What did he do, he sold them a story. It wasn't true and he probably knew it, he told them to love one another, he told them to help those who were the most vulnerable. He created a meme. Everyone creates memes. That 'fact' you parrot off facebook, you just infected someone else with a meme. So in my eyes the only point to life is this, leave the world in a better place then you found it. Choose the memes you spread wisely, and try to create better ones yourself. Where do I focus my memes? The millions dead and dying from malnutrition. Its absolutely preventable, we have the technology to solve it and its abhorrent that it continues into the modern era. You can join me, or you can pick something else. Just try and have a positive impact, and if you are good enough (and lucky) this world might just remember you when you are gone.
