tl;dr because I'm lazy: I doubt you know my view, although I've been fascinated with Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Heidegger for quite a while. If anything I tend towards nihilism, yes, though the way you seem to see everything doesn't quite coincide with my own interpretation of both past works and my view.
Question for atheists
My view on Nihilism is a slight twist to the actual belief, I believe that the meaning of life is different for each person, but on another note I also have the belief that the Earth would be a much better place if Humans were never a factor. So in a sense my belief is a doppelganger. My own belief doesn't really fit in with Nihilism but at the same time I do believe that people need to find their own meaning to life. It's harder to explain over a forum board than in person.
1. You're saying ALL atheists are like that? I don't mind my friends being religious.
2. Atheism is not believing there is a deity.
3. Myth? How would you know if it's a myth?
4. Why can't religious people be self righteous? I'm pretty sure I know a lot of religious people who are self righteous.
5. Really? Christians tries to convert people where ever they go, such as Africa and Asia. Do you hear Atheists telling people not to believe in anything?
6. How are we blind? You were the guys who were told what to believe in the Middle Ages.
7. No comment.
8. Again, so does all other religions.
9. I'm pretty sure all kinds of religious people could be emotionally unstable.
10. There are other people who discriminate other religions, such as Germans back in the Holocaust. They massacred millions of Jews.
11. How are we control freaks? I'm pretty sure the church in the Middle Ages basically controlled everyone.
12. How are atheists closed minded, we weren't the one controlled by the church.
13. No grip on reality? Galileo was imprisoned because he discovered the earth revolves around the sun.
14. What does logic got to do with religion?
15. I'm pretty sure there was a war over religion. Christians vs. Muslims. Pretty sure you got your asses whooped by Saladin.

1. Not true, many of my friends are idio... I mean religious.
2. If atheism is a religion then off is a TV channel.
3. Complete bias, uneducated and unintelligent argument.
4. I can say the same about priests.
5. Christian and Islamic believers have waged wars to convert and or exterminate mass populations.
6. Atheists are not fanatics, you should watch Jesus camp.
7. Atheists argue in hopes of bettering the earth.
8. Religion cries and complains about anything against there said religion, or non-religion.
9. Religious nuts are emotionally unstable, again; Jesus camp.
10. Everybody is secretly prejudice against anyone who does not share an opinion.
11. J.E.S.U.S C.A.M.P - All religion brainwashes youth before they can think for themselves.
12. Religious people are close minded and ignorant. The afterlife? Lmfao, cowards.
13. Atheists beliefs ARE reality.
14. Religion believes in rebirth, afterlife, incest, infanticide, and whole shit else. Atheists believe in science, logic, and truth.
15. 9/11, the Teutonic order, jihads, crusades, ext.
I need not argue with an uneducated idiot.
You are completely bias, and these arguments are weak, only worth of responding to them is to rub your lunacy in your own face.

The holocaust wasn't a religious massacre in that similarity.
The holocaust was genocide of the jewish RACE. Also, it was not done BECAUSE of religion like the crusades, jihads, etc. but was rather for the sake of genocide itself.
People seem to not understand that jews are a race and Judaism is a religion.
Much like how Arabic people are a race and Islam is a religion.
In simpler terms, one is the other, but the other is not one.
A venn diagram would help i guess but meh.

The point in enjoying life is that even though people wont remember anything after death, they don't have a reason to not enjoy life. For most people, positive actions and memories are better to deal with while alive than negative ones. I don't know whether I just made any sense or not but that is how I understand it. Personally I think life has no meaning and it doesn't matter how you life your life.
TL;DR I have no idea what I am talking about.

Science being an intellectual activity, no it didn't. However you're misinterpreting Poison's rather poorly formed statement, what he's saying is that yes, we can define life in a scientific manner and that yes, our goal in life is (at least on some level and at least partially) to reproduce and maintain our species.
If you know this is your only life and you don't "respawn", what is the point in not enjoying your life?
Aaaaand life has a meaning, it's called a child.
