    My point is that none of it makes sense. Our existence and consciousness in a vast universe doesn’t make sense. So at the end of the day, who cares what someone else believes to cope with that? Bad shit happens, people will explain it was for one purpose or another, but at the end of the day bad shit just happens and we should do our best to stop it, regardless of whos fault it is.

    It’s so weird. Athiests claim to not believe in a god but then blame a god for when bad things happen, asking believers why their god would let it happen. Why do they care about what an imaginary god lets happen? Some sick fuck murdered a bunch of people, who gives a flying fuck what some random religon’s god says about it?

      I care as soon as religion causes suffering. Which was and still is the case. (Sorry, have to say it again.)

      but at the end of the day bad shit just happens and we should do our best to stop it, regardless of whos fault it is.

      Agreed.

      Personally, I can imagine that’s frustration coming from people who may have been raised in a religious household. But I can’t speak for all. Haven’t heard from such a phenomenon though.

      I start caring then those “coping mechanisms” begin to be imposed on people who aren’t members of that religion.
