I'm not religious at all, but since ancient times man has tried to become "like the gods". Don't we all strive for those moments when we can become something more than a walking, talking sack of meat? We all have to find our way to those moments, but I also believe it's one of the reasons we're here.
How do you become more than a sack of meat by murdering yourself?
Isn't a rotting sack of meat less than a fresh sack? Or a heap of detritus rather less than a living creature?
Moreover, in the absence of religion there is no reason why we're here apart from whatever the individual arbitrarily comes up with.
