For those who 'feel' God exists, they sure spend a lot of time and treasure on something without empirical evidence. But that's their burden. Then, to have them moralize to someone who 'feels' there is no invisible man in the sky - that's just laughable.

RE spending time and treasure on something without empirical evidence

Where did creation come from? Or if you prefer, how did the Big Bang come about?

If life on earth is an accident, so are you, sir. (all of us of course.) And that means if something truly bad happens to you today, logically, nobody even owes you a "tough luck, get over it." Any compassion would just be silly, a waste of time, a sign of weakness.

People may be atheists/agnostics for a variety of reasons; for some, it is a means to an end.
