Boredom, mostly. We are biologically unequipped to live for centuries or millennia. Then there's the slight problem of the sun entering its red giant phase and eradicating the planet inca few billion years' time.

The inanity of this thread is astounding.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Are you always this much of a pedantic dumbshit?

80 bln people lost their lives to continue human race
so why WWII is bad and continuation of human race is good?
Continuation of the human race is good because currently 3/4 of the human race are still idiotic theists. If human race is to end now, it would be remembered by all those better than us as an idiotic dead end race that was 3/4 theist. So continuation is good because it give us a chance to attenuate the stain of theism.

Dying can only be bad if the dying had lived. And then how bad dying would be can only be judged against the good of having lived and continuing to live.

Yes, which is why we if we want to end suffering we shouldn't live forever. Humans will probably never be able to end all suffering but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try or that life won't continue to improve.
I agree with the others that you are being pedantic but perhaps that helps you hold onto your views on atheists.

Next to the transcendental insipidity of GC, Drich, Randy Carson which you must have seen, how could merely total, but appearently still humble, inanity astound you?

There has to be a sign somewhere reading "village idiots of all countries unite".
The amazing thing about it is that they all think to be clever and original.
