How much pain can atheists withstand ?

[The End of Atheism]

Addendum : one might ask the legitimate question of why a deity would use evolution as means to create human beings. One can easily think of many reasons for that, it's to show for example, that we're not that important (because other life forms resemble us in many aspects, a humbling realization), that the lives we have are precious (it took 4 billion years for our species to arise, and our lifespan is scarily short) and thus can't be wasted in pursuing earthly possessions, that the divine agent is superbly skillful as evidenced by creating a self-correcting process and not needing to intervene repeatedly, that the divine agent is infinitely resourceful, etc, etc.
