Here the analogy between the world and the chess board breaks down. Nothing exists outside the universe, its unimaginable. on the otherhand there is existence outside the chessboard.
We are arguing how existence came to be, this is the highest problem you can think of.
Jeez, you're really awful with words. Half the time you don't know what they mean. Last example was reason/cause. If you're that uncomfortable in a language (which is totally fine by the way, I don't care), use a dictionary.
And you did. "For atheist". It wasn't perfect English, but I'm sure you wanted to ask all atheists.
That's not the post I was talking about. And like I said, I don't care about your language skills. But if you want to communicate, you have to know what words mean.
You can't discuss about this and not know the difference between reason or cause. You'll say cause where you mean reason and vice versa. We won't know what you want to say.
First you said it would be strange if our lives did not have any reason to them. Then you said god created the chessboard for a reason. So what is this reason?

For some that's not as satisfying as religion. Religion offers you an objective. If you do something, you know if it's right or wrong. You don't have that knowledge. You have to think about it. Which makes you a free, but also a worrying man.
And how is it a meaningful life to live your whole life under the supervision of some guy who keeps watching every move you make? Does this make your life happy? Because I don't understand the logic of that at all.
