[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 1324695, member: 23516"] And that's the reason why such a disproportionate number atheists end up so miserable as they age: arrogance. Atheists, [I]as a whole[/I], tend to see themselves as brainiacs. They are just so much smarter than the rest of the herd who believe in the imaginary guy in the clouds. Why, there's no scientific proof that he (or He, depending) exists! Only the fools would devote themselves to such a thing that can't possibly exist. If they can't accomplish something, it can't be accomplished. Having established themselves as the smartest things to ever exists, atheists [I]as a whole[/I] begin to look around. They take note of all of the negative on this planet. There's plenty of it and nothing that they can do about it. All of their higher intelligence can't change any of it to any significant degree. They tend to spend a lot of time dwelling on all of that, and then it hits them that this is the nirvana of existence. There is nothing else waiting for you or your soul once this life is over. Whatever kind of life you're living is as good as it will ever get. Being the smartest things in existence, there is no higher power. When circumstances in life take a rather pronounced bad turn, who do you pray to in order to understand what's going on or the strength to overcome it? You certainly can't take it as a sign from God that you need to make some changes because you don't believe in God. Why would you need God? All problems can be solved with logic. There's more to it than that, but that's the long and short of it. This is as good as it gets and the ability to deal with adversity is limited to the talents of other atheists. I can see why so many of them end up so miserable. [/QUOTE]
