How much pain can atheists withstand ?

In fact, it is much easier (as well as more accurate) to determine if a a particular act is evil if we proceed from the assumption that such an authority does not exist.

All the facts that are available to the humanists your refer to, are also available to the theist. The atheist, however, doesn't have the framework to assess any given situation as bad. A child needlessly starved to death is, strictly speaking, a net evolutionary gain in the cold, indifferent universe that your worldview promotes. A child's starvation to death is evolutionarily beneficial, as there will less vulnerable life forms consuming scarce resources without making any contribution to the world. Not a healthy perspective huh ?

You should refrain from using the word evil from now on, it's very easy to find weaknesses when atheists start babbling about good and evil.

It’s simply no good to say that we can’t understand God - that’s the excuse YOU people invented to get out of addressing evil acts (almost as revolting an idea as karma).

Are you still using the word "evil" ?
