That would be a sad way of seeing life. Luckily I'm not seeing it that way.

BTW I don't follow any religion if that's what you are calling "spiritual junk". I do believe in a being that trascends all physical definitions, but I'm not following any strict rules like the Church imposes.

To be honest I think that way of looking at life (as in the atheist view of when you die, that's it!) actually makes you cherish life more. This is your one shot to make a difference to humanity and enjoy your existence and consciousness. Don't waste it!

I agree (although I personally don't believe in anything really, taking the wait and see approach) and I'd like to add that your purpuse of living is what you make it to be. You decide what it is. You don't need some sort of religion, spirituality or god-esse-s to have a purpuse.
