What do you guys thinks?
I would want to know why an atheist parent would bring a child into this world knowing that suffering exists.
Perhaps because it is only suffering after all. There is also pleasure and interest and connection but none of it exclusively and always. Atheist parents have no issue with life as we find it. It is you theists we have to worry about slitting your wrists when reality doesn't reinforce your fantasy.

I guess polar bears are objectively evil then.
Well technically I think they are only bad asses. Nothing to trifle with, mind you, but their intentions are clearly not nefarious. They are merely trying to make a living by tooth and claw, and apparently we aren't bad tasting.
