Who throws the dice for you?

[smax]

I'm not into the whole quantum thing, nor am I into advanced mathematics. Not for lack of capacity, mind you, It's just not my cup of tea.

That said, I'm certainly willing to entertain your question at it's most basic level. That question, as it appears to me, is:

Do my atheist views suggest a less calculated outcome than that of a theist?

The answer is, yes, they do. I admit that, and further more, I embrace it, especially in light of the evidence and results we have available. Many devout theists of all different religious subscriptions have met with terrible and humiliating ends. The same goes for atheists. Additionally, both theists and atheists have been known to prosper.

Based on the evidence, I think it's safe to say that whoever or whatever is "rolling the dice" isn't nearly as particular as theists so desperately hope.

And, this may surprise you, but as an atheist, I do not necessarily rule out a higher power of some sort, although I'd qualifying that by saying I'd imagine a higher power to be unimaginable (or beyond imagination). Further more, I think it would be, and is, silly to assume that any higher power would care one way or the other about our human plight.

So, as far as the dice roller goes, higher power or not, the results are the same: random. Some people live long and others die early. Some people prosper and others live through terrible suffering. And some people just simply have balance.

People like you undoubtedly dream baselessly of some kind of eternally blissful afterlife. But if we are both being honest, no compelling evidence of such a thing exists. Well, that is, except for the notion that we will all eventually transform back into pure energy. Perhaps there is bliss in that.
