You wouldn't argue with a Jain about their metaphysical beliefs or choice of lifestyle if they're causing no harm, in that religion they literally can't not even insects. It's something cultural and they're enjoying it. You don't have to be like the Grinch who tried to steal Christmas.Dude if your a atheist then you have to remember that many of these people think you will be tortured for eternity by a just and perfect god, and a goodly number of them preach that we are evil. Not to mention many of these people are actually anxious for the end of the world and vote accordingly.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
