[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flip side is, what do atheist believe about such suffering? If you don't believe in God, then it is all just random and meaningless. [/quote]

This is incorrect.  Very much so.  When you understand that we only have evidence for natural forces, and that we have learned so much but still have so much more to learn, you accept that whether it is cancer or black holes the universe does not behave in a way that is optimal for humans.  Exactly the opposite of intelligent design.

In fact, people of faith like to use the human eye's complexity as their "evidence" of design, when in fact only natural methods could have developed something that works so damned poorly!

[quote]For people who are deeply affected by suffering (and not everyone is), they either end up religious or they become depressed. [/quote]

This is also completely incorrect, is pretty offensive, and you just made this up.  Accepting the realities of existence is much more liberating than believing in some deity and wondering why they choose to inflict pain and suffering.[/quote]

Right, so it is all just random and meaningless. The universe is going to do what it is going to do. You are a speck and worthless. Feel better?

If you feel liberated, great for you. But know that religious people don't believe in a god that inflicts pain and suffering for the sake of it. That is what atheists believe, the straw man they made up. [/quote]
