Shouldn't atheists refuse meaning in life and accept its inherently bad ? Philosophy
Atheism arises from rationality i.e logic. If God doesn't exist (obviously doesn't) then you can't say there is a grand plan ! Existence is just pointless. In a pointless existence we have wars, crimes, predation, natural disasters, torture, exploitation and slavery, accidents, diseases and many more inevitable sufferings going on. Nobody can stop these these are inevitable.
Can you deny these facts ? If not then the only rational solution for existence is extinctionism. Extinction of all conscious sentient living beings. As rationalists you must agree to that ?

Why would that be? Just because there's no creator doesn't mean life can't be meaningful.
If you're a theist, those things are happening regardless. What's God's excuse?
We can stop some of them at least some of the time.
Why?
