Well, if we can agree on the fact of life which shows everybody 
including the atheists has a god of their own on a personal level, then 
I guess we can talk about the one true God, and why it is necessary and 
important for everyone to know the only true God.

My claim is based on the assumption that every life is precious and has 
a purpose. It's rather straight forward common sense. There is nothing 
to prove. Since you disagree, the burden of proof is on you to show that 
it is not a common sense which can be agreed upon by everyone.

No. I would rather say that people who commit suicide because they think 
they have failed their purpose in life which is so important to them 
that their entire existence is based on. It's just like they have failed 
their god. Therefore, they can not find any other alternative except to 
kill themselves.

We can't.  You use the words 'god' and 'God' in ways that are so
non-standard that I doubt you make sense to anyone but yourself.

"Common sense" here means "I sure looks like X to *me*, therefore it
must look that way to everybody."  It proves nothing.

That only because you have never thought of God/god on a personal level. 
God is not out there in the sky. God is within you who is the center of 
your life. You actually live your life for God even when you call 
yourself an atheist. When you don't live your life for the God within 
you, you always suffer in life. There is no exception for everybody. 
It's universal.

I fail to see there is anything difficult to understand. Perhaps you 
need to look within yourself and your life in order to understand what 
I'm talking about.

This is where I stop talking to you.  You've played the smarmy "If
you weren't so shallow and small-minded then you'd agree with me"
card one time too many.

But since (according to you) everybody lives their life for God, nobody
'always suffers'.

No. If we can always live our lives for God, we would never suffer. The 
reason we do suffer in life, is because we sometimes stop living our 
lives for God. God is the source of our spiritual energy like happiness, 
peace, love, satisfaction, etc. When we don't live our lives for God, we 
wouldn't get any of those good things from God. When life is without 
happiness, peace, love, and satisfaction, life becomes suffering.

If you want to reduce suffering, you could start by learning the proper 
etiquette for posting on Usenet: when there are bits of the post below 
the part you are responding to, it is considered polite to snip them 
before hitting "send".

As for suffering for failure to "live our lives for god", maybe you 
should chat to a Hasidim sometime.  They do truly make a concerted 
effort to obey all 600-odd divine commandments, and consequently twist 
their entire lives into pretzel shape in this impossible pursuit.  Even 
they will tell you that it is flat out impossible, so even the attempt 
imposes suffering.

As far as I know, there is no commandment from the God of living. For 
the God of killing? it may be another matter. However, there is the edge 
of the cliff one is advised not to step over, but that is something only 
for specific individual under special circumstances. It's not everyday 
for someone to wandering on a cliff.

No, that's not what I meant. Living life is indeed a great purpose. For 
people who live their life with a great purpose, they make such great 
purpose itself a god or God. That purpose IS their god/God.

Therefore, any atheists who have a purpose in life have a god/God they 
either consciously or unconsciously serve and follow. Those, who don't 
have any purpose at all, can be considered zombies...

I'm not trying to prove anything. I'm just showing you something you 
don't yet already know regarding the concept of God and what it actually 
means to life. The word God is not just a religious symbol. It is the 
giver and provider of life. For people who believe money is their god, 
they devote their life to money believing by doing so, that their life 
will be better because their money god will reward them with a better 
life. This is not any kind of religious doctrine. This is simply what 
actually happens in real life.

That is expected. There is no surprise there, but why snip off the rest 
of my post? Is there something you don't want to see and can not really

ethics never part of consideration in an atheist life?

Why not?  Once I've established that I don't accept your basic
premise, what's the point of going any further into your reasoning?
