As an atheist, I will not commit suicide. I believe my life is worth living. Just because I do not worship a god does not mean that I find life so un-enjoyable that I will off myself.
In fact, I believe I live life more than many religious people. I do not think that the dream of heaven should be waiting for us in our graves- but I do think it should be ours here and now and on this earth. I will not live my life tied to some religious doctrine. I will live life to the fullest, enjoy lust, and have pride in my abilities.
I choose to remain an atheist because there has never been convincing, objective proof that what the Bible (or any other religous text for that matter) says is true.
I believe that the Bible is man's early attempt to explain the world around him; a primitive philosophy. Deriving any sort of moral code from it and applying that code to modern day social issues is irresponsible and ridiculous.
