Atheism is a sad approach to life

Thank you for answering the same day. And do not worry, Sir. I am a LDS who has served a mission abroad and I am very hard to offend. I will now present the four main questions I made in the opening statements, explaining my view on each of them. "How can a life without any answers be a happy life?" Human beings are thinking, creative creatures. We are blessed with brains and thoughts and most importantly: with questions. The Lord asks us to seek answers, and when we do, we are rewarded with knowledge. This relationship, with a worshipper asking for answer and the Lord providing the truth is to me the core in all beliefs. This is how we educate ourselves and this is how we develop. In the atheist approach, there is no equal tradition. Truth is rather invented than searched for. Absolute truth can't be found through scientific experiments, so holding a statement as absolute truth would actually be a leap of faith; something that atheists so strongly condemn. "How can life that starts and ends with our presence on earth be a meaningful one?" One of the most asked questions asked by humans is of course: why are we here? What is my purpose? Finding that purpose, and serving it, is in my opinion the deepest and most defined level of self-development. Life started long before we came to earth, and will continue long after we leave. And to steal that realization from people, by claiming atheism, is unfair and does not give them the tools needed to reach fulfilment in life. There is a point of us not realizing our purpose by the day we are born. We are all supposed to make that intellectual journey, finding the spirit and make the right choices. If you claim to atheism all your life, denying the spirit until the day you die, you will have wasted a lifelong opportunity to learn and develop. This does not in any way mean that you are a bad person or by default make the wrong choices, but you've limited yourself by your doubt and fears, and you will never realize your full potential. In the atheist approach, life has no goal or purpose. You spend your entire life waiting for a death that will be final and permanent. I ask my opponent, what's the point of that? "How can decisions be easy and right without a moral to guide you?" By studying the scripture, I am prepared for whatever life might throw at me. My moral is founded in my beliefs and in my faith. Choosing between right and wrong is not something that is debated inside of me. I make sure to follow my scripture and I know that will get me rewarded. If not to follow scripture and the moral given to us from the Lord we can no longer define the source of those morals. Not only is that confusing from an ethical perspective and forces us to make decisions we can not fully understand the consequences of, it also means we might be influenced by powers that are not good. If we take a step away from the teachings handed to us, we open our will and thoughts to morals from the outside. Who verifies those morals? "How can there be comfort in expecting nothing else but decomposition and nothingness after this life is over?" Losing a loved one is hard. For everyone. It doesnt matter what you believe in. But to sit down in all of that grief and think about bodies decomposing in earth, and no single trace left of that loved human, isnt that just cruel? What do you say to a child that has lost a close relative? How do you explain it? By pointing at the ground? Many people, no matter religion, find comfort in knowing our loved ones look down on us from above. They live on. They have simply just moved on from life on earth, to a place of rewards and happiness. When thinking about this, death is not scary. I know that my ancestors are safe and in harmony, and that we will all be together one day. If to believe in any other way, how can you possibly be happy?
