Do you understand the concept of free will? You are blessed with the ability to choose good or bad. Most people enjoy freedom, but yes it has negative consequences life isn’t fair so you better toughen up.
And yet, we deep down want to believe there is a god because that gives meaning to the universe. Without that, life has no purpose and just exists in an empty void. Kind of hard to take. We might want to have belief in false premises that yet give us purpose. Otherwise things could be too bleak. I have friends who are irrational Southern Baptists, who cling to patently stupid beliefs without which they could not face life's hardships. "Someday god will sweep the true believers to heaven and make this worthwhile." Meanwhile these sheep do nothing about the people crushing them into slavery.

I want to believe what the facts and evidences say, and there are none for any god.

The purpose is whatever you want it to be. For many it is procreation. Others it's helping people and bettering their lives. But it's also ok to be selfish to a degree and just live life for yourself and enjoy what limited time you have alive.
But even though none of this matters in the grand scheme of this unimaginably large universe, that's no reason to behave with what you know to be immoral.

Yea there's a lot of people like that.
You're wrong about the reason though. It's not to give life a purpose, but rather almost all of us have at least a subconscious desire to live forever to some degree. It's hard for our brain to comprehend the fact that eventually it will cease to be. So most people cling to some sort of deity or idea of an afterlife, even if they don't identify with a specific religion.
You are in a faith based religion that relies on the miracles of the Big Bang and abiogenesis. Nobody can explain why the universe just exploded into existence, and the sure can’t figure out how some random inanimate proteins turned into living creatures.
You rely purely on faith of your assumptions that a bunch of Malthusian scientists who can’t figure out the basic questions of our origins or our consciousness.
It puzzles me that god does not strike down this Satanic imposter.
God's plans literally involve allowing an antichrist to rule the entire world for a while so evil popes are kinda small potatoes tbh
I thought they said he was omnipotent. This sounds like the gayest plan ever.

More fuel for the deist vs theist debate
It's almost as if god isn't actually real. https://scored.co/c/Atheist/p/15IXbHtw5Q/strike-me-down-you-coward/c

"He's got the whooole world, in his hands." That's the inspiration for the image.
Geocentrism is the one that's retarded.
