The Christian view of life being superior to the Atheist one

(October 26, 2014 at 10:28 am)Dolorian Wrote: Very much the claim of the Christian runs along the lines that the Christian view provides a superior context more in tune with our desire to continue living than the Atheist view. Since, under the Atheist view we will all eventually die it will all be for naught in the end. Whereas in the Christian view the afterlife avoid this pessimistic outcome.

Obviously this approach ignores which view is true and better supported by the evidence so it is more judging both views in a vacuum so to speak. It seems to be just a variation of the "without God there is nothing to live for" claim.

Have you ever encountered this claim before? If you were to judge both views in a vacuum, would you choose the Christian view due to your desire to continue living and because what you did in your life would have mattered "more"?
What a depressing choice. But no, I would not choose the Christian view due to my compassion and love for humanity and life.
