I was thinking about this quite deeply yesterday.
Someone I know has been going through a rough patch in their marriage for a few years, and she mentioned that her husband is an atheist.
I came to the conclusion he is either not an atheist at all and just spiritually retarded, or he is a selfish cowardly POS.
I've know quite a few atheists, and they live every day to the full because the clock is ticking. They don't get married often, and they certainly don't waste the time they have in relationships that are hard (which why they rarely get married).
And they would also find it abhorrent to not only waste time like that, but also waste someone else's time like that even if that person believes there is an afterlife. Because that would be incredible selfish and really quite fucked up when you see it from their perspective.
