[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What explains the suffering of children to people who aren’t religious? Is it just random terrible things, and then the child suffers and dies and is snuffed out of existence? [/quote] To some, I think. A friend who was atheist was dying of a terrible illness and that is certainly how he viewed it. I lived, I suffer, I die, and am no more. I found it very sad that he viewed life as so pointless, but others found his point of view somehow comforting. [/quote] Did he say life was pointless, or did you imagine it? It's quite sad that you find life so pointless that you wish for something to exist outside of life to give it a point. [/quote] What’s the point in the life of a baby with cancer? They suffer and die, what is the point to their lives? [/quote] I’d like to know the answer to this too. Can someone explain how they view this secularly?[/quote] All life on earth (and earth itself) is random. Both the suffering and the joy. All we can do is attempt to create meaningful experiences for ourselves while we are here. But we are still subject to randomness that cannot be expained, controlled or "prayed" away.[/quote] So what is the meaningful experience of a baby born, developing cancer, and dying?[/quote] +1 Anyone?[/quote] Nothing at all. I said we can "try" to create a meaningful experience for ourselves, but yes that child likely cannot. It is the proof of the world's randomness.[/quote] Ok so in the secular view, babies die from cancer randomly and their lives mean nothing. [/quote] Goddamn you are dense as a rock having been told multiple times in this thread that is not what anyone is saying: [quote]babies die from cancer randomly[/quote] No, it is a complex combination of genetics, environment and many other things we don't understand yet. [quote]and their lives mean nothing[/quote] WTF kind of horrific immoral insensitive monster are you to suggest someone things such a thing? You are despicable. [/quote] I believe the same secular poster posted this: [img]<a href="https://ibb.co/ssV2F7K"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/ygQX826/IMG-1416.jpg" alt="IMG-1416" border="0"></a>[/img] They then followed it up by saying the baby could not create anything meaningful from it’s life or death. So secular posters don’t agree on the answer to this question. [/quote] Uncertain what your point is. I am the PP who posted the "dense as a rock" accusation (which I stand behind). I did not post the other comment.[/quote] Another secular poster posted the post you take issue with. They have a different opinion than yours. [/quote]
