Now, I MIGHT be a bit biased, but…

It seems for some of our friends on the Right that everything would be better in our society/world if “the Left” simply went away.
The Left is what keeps the Right from devolving into end-stage capitalism; (that is), the Left is a necessary component for the correct functioning of the overall system.

Schools, colleges and Universities are the repositories of the Lefty ideologies because that’s where we keep them.

You got no family? No friends? No wife? Nobody that loves you and no-one that you love? You don't get enjoyment just waking up and watching the sunrise? It was stunning this morning. No art that moves you? No music that can make you cry? No pleasure in the simple things of life? A crisp cover drive, a perfect pass, a beautiful backhand? A smokey malt?

If you can't get true enjoyment out of life without some kind of divine belief then I sincerely hope you don't lose it. But hey, my son just brought my granddaughter over, so no more from me. She's actually giving me a hug as I try to type this. Oh, sorry...she's smacking her matter up against mine for no reason whatsoever...

Why is it you're unable to see that you're assuming an inherent value to stimulus? An inherent value that is unable to be substantiated and within your worldview is actively opposed by our nature within it. We literally are just matter smacking up against matter within Atheism. What is joy but merely chemical reactions within your schema? There is no inherent meaning to these chemicals either. I don't know how much more forceful/exacerbated I could have been.

Your response just assumed an inherent meaning that doesn't exist again by appealing to things that feel good as if those feelings are some measure of truth (without any reason for them being so) :\

That's abject nonsense. You are saying that love and friendship are nothing but chemical reactions and are therefore worthless. You are saying that these things are real to you but not to me. You are saying that they are meaningful to you but meaningless to me. How dare you. How dare you belittle the love I feel for my wife and my kids and my grandchildren. How dare you insinuate that my life has no meaning.

Speak for yourself, friend. But don't dare speak for me.
