Where do atheists get their morels?

[Rubiks]

Do they get them from Wal-Mart, Kroger, Food Lion, or another place?

Farmer's market...

Brought to you by America's mushroom council.

This kind of morel?

 

[Pilgrim]

The morel of the story is found at the bottom of your soup bowl.

Just treat them nicely and fairly because it's equality.

I love Alice so much. You brightened my day. My name is based on Wonder Land.

I'm one of those rare atheists who don't have any morals.
I have values, and empathy, I also have wants and needs, oh, and a reputation which I am spending a lifetime building...

But belief in what is right and what is wrong is just a bit too vague for me. Life isn't black and white, can't just label things as right/wrong, and I don't expect my values to be the same as others' values.

Good post...but where do you get your mushrooms?

Interesting. Sounds very sensible and noble. However, beyond theoretical declarations, what do you think your life is? Is there a goal/goals for your living? What is it (are they)?

Maybe he just wants to be a fun guy?

Oh, sorry to have gone off topic, I mis-understood the thread.
I get my mushrooms from the supermarket.

She is VASTLY underappreciated character.

There is no intrinsic goal or purpose for my life.
My life is what I make of it.
I have lots of different goals, (short term, medium, long term)
I want to get better at playing guitar.
I want to get better at my chosen profession.
I want to help develop my kids academically, intellectually, develop their confidence, develop their sense of self, their ability to become independent some day.
I want to make my wife happy.
I want to explore the world and cultures and human nature.
I want to learn and enjoy life.

That's very commendable.

No problem.

Great! If you allow me to sum up these goals, it's to enjoy life, bring up good kids, make wife happy, learn about the world.

If you could choose just one biggest or most important goal, or if to put it into most general terms, what would it be?

"bring up good kids" isn't quite the words I'd use.
I want my kids to become independent, to be able to navigate and thrive throughout society and their lives. It's not my intent to bestow upon them what is good and what is not good. That they can decide for themselves, if they must, I'm giving them tools, not answers.

What is my biggest or most important goal?
I don't think I can simplify my life down into just a single goal. Life is complex and often full of conflicts and choices. I do, however value my health and well being and the health and well being of my immediate family very highly. Perhaps that is my foremost goal, to be in a state of health with a positive looking future for myself and immediate family, if these are sufficiently taken care of then I can indulge in other goals.
