One of the most horrifying conversations I ever had with an atheist was when he told me that “tragedy and death add beauty and richness to life”. Which I find to be utterly insane...
His ‘logic’, if you can call it that, was that you appreciate life more when it is short and hopeless...which is insane. Why not schedule everyone for execution and maximize the happiness?
You will rarely ever find an atheist who loves humanity enough to work day and night towards the goal of somehow trying to replace the lack of hope. If they can’t believe that God exists then they should be desperately working to replace that absence of salvation with some other technological or social miracle! At the very least it would show a great appreciation for the idea of human dignity and victory over barriers!
But the majority of atheists are misanthropic psychos...
NO cheers, unfortunately.
