If an atheist concludes that he can never figure out the purpose of of his existence, he is shallow.

If an atheist concludes that his existence has a purpose, he is basing it on a "faith" in things that he can't measure.

This, of course, means that any declaration that, that which can't be measure is ignorable, is irrational.

Trib, -- you've made a declaration that the following line is irrational:
"that which can't be measure is ignorable"


Your declaration does not prove that if an atheist concludes that his existence has a purpose, he is basing it on a "faith" in things that he can't measure.
Your remark is merely your irrational opinion.

No. My declaration was that that (some) atheist believes that what can't be measured is ignorable.

My belief is that what can't be meausred is the most important.
