Imaginary Friend = Imaginary Purpose

I love it when the theists assert, "You can't have a purpose in life without God." Are you shitting me? Imaginary friend, imaginary purpose! Think about it. You can have a purpose that can not be measured in any way. You can have a life fulfilling purpose without ever having to face the risk of failure. You can have a purpose that other people with the same purpose admire and insist that it is the highest of all purposes. You can have a purpose that insists all other purposes, things like education, earning money, providing for a family, getting a good job, having good friends, buying a car that you really like, and more, are all empty purposes with no meaning. As a Christian, you can have a purpose that is not even in this world. Your purpose will come to you after you die. Why waste a life on earthly purposes when your true purpose is waiting for you after you die? Just believe, have faith, and know that only those people who think like you have real purposes. Imaginary purposes are so much safer than real purposes. Anyone else notice this?
