Atheism as an overall mindset clearly makes no sense. We’re here; we exist; so some generative force created us. But is that generative force the same as the one which put THIS place into existence and facilitated our incarnation into it? This is where the atheistic view that there is no BENEVOLENT “God” who loves us and simply wants the best for us at least becomes understandable. This can be deduced simply through personal experience, and the futility of “prayer” becomes one of the main pieces of evidence. if prayer worked, why has the world ALWAYS been in a state of suffering, conflict, war, pain and fear, in spite of the billions who would have asked and willed for it to be another way?
