COMPARISON - BELIEVER AND ATHEIST
Believer
I have done my best to stop what makes me unhappy. I am suffering terribly. I
accept this as unavoidable. I will not be angry about it for the anger will only
make me feel worse.
Atheist
I have done my best to stop what makes me unhappy. I am suffering terribly. I
accept this as unavoidable. I will not be angry about it for the anger will only
make me feel worse.
In fact the words are the same but the believer is messing with words. It is not
unavoidable if there is a God thus anger would be appropriate if not against God
then against how his good work the universe has been ruined and now I am
suffering over it.
Atheism then should in principle and in practice show better compassion than
belief in a higher power of any kind who can help.
