Says you. To my mind, a world where one isn't beholden to the capricious assumptions of an always watching sky monster can yield far greater happiness. A world where one recognizes that happiness, not just for yourself but for everyone around you, is solely in your hands, and not something that can be doled out or taken away willy nilly from on high. A world of personal responsibility and personal atonement, where all your goodness comes from you... how can you possibly say this world has anything but the greatest possible potential for positivity?
