He was born, he lived, he died, and now he’s compost.

Good luck with that. Atheists that think this life turns to nothingness must ask themselves why they believe in love, in right and wrong, in justice, in fairness, because if there’s no real meaning to life and we’re all a cosmic accident, none of that means anything because all of it just boils down to your opinion and everything is just relative and therefore meaningless in the end.

Most of us believe this life isn’t meaningless and that the things that count are not relative or subjective.

Not only. But despite the symphony of angry-at-God men like Dawkins, Harris and Hitches who espouse a superior basis for morality than those dangerous Christians who are may blow up the world, what assurance can relying on the “golden compass” of man provide when it so easily points south (or left)? That is the same moral reasoning the atheists as Mao and Pol Pot used in doing what seemed pragmatically reasonable to them, and the political religion the atheism fosters. Many atheists favor removing children from the homes of evangelicals, even likening them to drug users.

Meanwhile the atrocities (Inquisitions, etc.) they blame Christianity for were contrary to the Bible, and its influence has helped build strong societies, which they benefit from.
