Why are we living?

This question has been haunting me for quite a while now.....why are we living? There are reasons for everything we do in life. But I am not able to know the reason for why we are living in the first place. I have thought about the possible answers, but nothing has convinced me. All the reasons that I could possibly make up seem illogical. The more I think about the answers, the more I am confused.

I find the religious explanations to this question as dumb. They seem to make us morons and want us to follow them blindly. I have repeatedly heard the common notion of God creating this universe and that the objective of our life is to serve him. But I find it as the most ridiculuos, illogical,unconvincing and childish explanation. The fact that these explanations being illogical have forced me to not believe in any religion and has made me an atheist.

I will keep trying to answer this question. Right now I have no other choice but to brush the question aside and return to the 'material and wordly' things. Anyway, if you have got anywhere near to anwering this question or you want to join the discussion, you can always let me know......Bye!!!!
