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

This would imply that the atheist has determined that there actually is an objective purpose. An atheist may conclude that there ultimately is no purpose, and that we are just here. I don't see why this would make an atheist shallow.

Trib, [and many others of the boopers] seem to think they can post most any kind of bafflegab bull and get away with it. Sad delusions.
