Do atheist belive in capital punishment

Life is not quick, nor is it death.
"For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan
Life is not short. We all die, but that's the fate of all that live. That doesn't mean that life is meaningless. It actually makes it more valuable.

Only for shitty threads.
I don't necessarily hold with the death penalty; I feel that if the option were exercised, there absolutely has to be no alternative and the case for it has to be overwhelmingly compelling. Nothing to do with my atheism, though.
And even less to do with the question of producing kids.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
we have to watch people that we loved dearly die and die ourselves why would you want to bring someone else into that world to experience that pain
Because joy comes along with it.

The anguish we suffer over another's death is related to the immense joy we experience at having intersected with their lives.

How would life have more of a point if it was indefinite?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech |
