[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The atheists have still not come forth with their view of suffering and how it makes it feel better. Only one person said something about science and her conclusion was that she wasnt sure life is worth it. So, that pretty much supports what other PP said about thinking atheists being depressed.

It makes me "feel better" to think there is no knowledgeable being controlling life like we are bacteria in a petri dish.  It helps to reconcile this question about cancer or how people can be so evil or why life can be so unfair.  It's actually easier to think there is randomness and chance involved rather than "God's will".

Don't get me wrong - I'd LOVE to believe that a good God will come a straighten out the mess down here with a bit of karma.  I just haven't seen any evidence whatsoever for that. [/quote]

I also wonder (quite often actually) what could have been or could be accomplished if even only half the amount of hours spent reading the same book over and over again, worshipping a diety, etc, had been spent in REALITY and finding solutions to making less cancer and making the world a better place.  Instead of the absurd amount of wasted time that has taken place while children ARE dying of cancer for example.  Not to mention maybe many people would not even consider searching for Those solutions because they think this life is meaningless in comparison to the “life to come”.

The belief in utopia in this world is what has fueled both communism and fascism, so be very careful. It is a misguided belief that if only we were better, richer, nicer, [insert your adjective], we could be a perfect society. Anyone who has done any introspection knows that our downfall lies in each one of us. [/quote]
