Atheism and hope
#6
RE: Atheism and hope
Hope: "A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen."

Taking the definition into account is it actually possible for a human being to not experience hope on a regular basis? Someone starving hopes for food, someone poor hopes for money, someone imprisoned hopes for freedom. I can hope a take-away pizza will arrive quickly, I can hope for a better lot in life, I can certainly hope that R&B dies horribly and the music industry can get back to being original and talented like the good old days when Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix were rocking the scene.
At what point is religion a prerequisite for hope? It is simply part of the human condition.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die."
