Judging from this post, you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground about it.

Explain to me logically why human race should continue while billions of people die?

We are humans and can act against our instincts

This guy probably never heard about WWII, Rwanda and Middle East

No one is denying that human beings can be very violent but, in the past, you wouldn't even know that most atrocities took place.  If you did hear about them, you probably wouldn't even be outraged because dehumanizing a large part of humanity would be part of your upbringing. 

Of course, humans can act against their instincts but if you admit that then why should our species let itself fail? 

I think the problem is that you are making assumptions about atheists' beliefs.

Iroscato just gave the OP his answer so there doesn't seem any reason for him to respond to this thread. I hope that this was educational for him(or her)

Does that include absence of suffering and immortality?

Absence of suffering, yes in the long run. Immortality...eh, maybe. Depends if anyone is nuts enough to actually want to live forever.

If there is no suffering what's wrong with living forever?

It would get boring after awhile. Why would you want to live forever?
