Whether god exists or not there is enough wisdom in this universe to come up with the noble ideas found in the world's philosophies. Whether these gems are from humans or gods they exist.

The trouble that some people have when they lose their belief in god is they lose their sense of purpose as well. They fall into a nihilistic pit. There is no purpose to life. Life has no meaning.

Like many things in this life this is a true and false at the same time. It may be true that the universe has no purpose or meaning for our existance. But this does not mean that we cannot create one for ourselves.

There is no meaning to life other than what we make of it.

There is a show I watch that brought this idea forward in another way. It said it may be true there is no meaning to life, but by living you may find some interesting things along the way and perhaps that is enough.
