Are you implying that everything can be cured?
That seems to be what you are implying.
As we know, god certainly can't cure all ills and neither can humans.
So as usual, you have fuck all point.
And as usual, I always get spoken to in such a civilized way around here!
My point is that you can cure little to nothing. My point is that you can't stop an old woman from getting old, getting sick and dying. You don't want suffering in this life, but still, suffering comes.
My point is that there are higher powers than you in this universe that you're forced to surrender to.
"But wait! The stupid flying spaghetti monster fairy asshole Bible God isn't making me suffer! I don't believe in the stupid old myths, you stupid, creationist asshole idiot no-proof moron! It's just natural laws of the universe (whatever the fuck that even means)!"
You're naturally entitled to whatever frame of reference floats your boat.
My point is simple: atheists experience a higher power, if in no other way, by their suffering.
