Shouldn't atheists refuse meaning in life and accept its inherently bad ?

[u/efilist_sentientist]

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 ?

No. You're working from the assumption that there needs to be a god and a "grand plan" in order for people to find meaning and/or want to live. Your assumption is wrong, and your conclusion is irrational.

Also, despite your title saying that atheists should "refuse meaning in life" that's not actually what you're proposing. You're saying that they should accept a specific meaning of life, that being the one you have personally chosen. (That life is inherently bad and that we should work together to kill everything.)
