You say that like it's an objective truth, not merely as one person's subjective opinion
Is there value in a money, or a Monet? Objective truth, plz!
Audie,
It's the way Kenny wrote it. He worded it to make it sound like it's an objective truth.

No. Atheism offers nothing worthwhile.
It is rather like ashistososomiasisism that way, Or a lack of belief in Batboy. Abatboyism.
What might those offer you, presuming you are not into the worship of snail borne diseases or mutants?
What nonsense to even talk about those things offering anything.
Belief systems are supposed to have some kind of value. Otherwise, they're not worth holding to that system. Atheism offers no value that I can see.
a·the·ism
ˈāTHēˌizəm/
noun
disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods

Oh, ok. I seldom agree with k anyhow.
I think you seldom agree with anyone but yourself.

And second,
Lack of a belief, or disbelief in batboy, really has no bearing on life's questions that everyone inquires about.
Play along for a moment Audie...
If batboy exists, how would that affect you?
If God exists, how would that affect you?
I was unaware that atheism or aschistososomiasisism was a belief system.
i am unavoidably aware of the "what if" thing.
I guess there is value in not believing a meteor will fall on l you, but is that a "system"?
Audie,
I'm kinda surprised that you didn't know atheism is a belief system. You're usually pretty knowledgeable about topics you are willing to discuss. But hey, think of it as you learned something new today. Here Audie. This link explains why this atheist believes atheism is a belief system.
What do you think?

Sheesh, now I agree with you and you find fault in that.
Wait..what? I'm sorry. You threw me off. I never would've thought you were agreeing with me.
Please forgive.

Humour is subjective too
Yes, you're right! Some prefer humour. Others prefer humor.

Some people hide their insecurities behind humor.

Blue as the sky
Brown as manure
We think you are too great
To be insecure
Maybe I should copyright that poem
Well,
You got the manure part right.
Roses are red,
Bat orchids are black,
Your poems don't rhyme,
They make me want to yack!
