Atheists dont want kids cause they dont want to face their animality, and their mortality; so they abuse leisures to forget about death. You end with people in their 50s who are lonely and have no offsprings, no access to eternity. At this point needeless to say, it s too late; so they can only become cynical and sarcastic about people who have kids. It s immaturity, they dont accept the fact they re just animals, they want to keep thinking they re unique, gods themselves, not just a seed among billions of other seeds of the same root. Atheists generate atheists, who after some time sto reproducing, only believers accept, embrace their animal condition and give it a meaning, while atheists are lost and abuse everything without finding any kind of solace in love, a love they cannot understand anymore.
Wouldn't an atheist embrace exactly what you say they're not? In other words, most atheists I know fully accept the fact that they're random animals sparked onto this giant orbiting rock by random chance. None of the atheists I know perceive themselves to be gods, since the acknowledgment of a god sort of goes against the fundamental tenets of atheism, no? You're not really an atheist if you believe there's a god, be it you or someone else or something else. Atheists I know believe that they are in fact small specs in the universe. And that the only purpose of life is to perpetuate life, since life feeds on life.
I'm an atheist, and I had kids. I'm glad I did. If anything, they add a measure of purpose to an existence. Now I have something else to strive and provide for, rather than my own needs. And though I could have been happy providing for my own needs on a solitary journey of self-discovery of knowledge and wisdom, I'm equally happy doing it with kids at my side. It provides a different perspective.
An atheist can still be a good person, you know. I still think perpetuating life means making life better for other people around me. I still like being altruistic. I know helping others provides a greater social net that props up society and man as a whole, which elevates the human race and allows it to achieve more. Being selfish is to ignore the long-term vision of humanity. There are times for selfishness, and times for altruism.
I would say your example is more apt to be applied to myopic, unthinking people who lack integrative thinking skills to see the bigger picture. And that applies to atheists as easily as it does theists...there are immature unthinking people on both sides.
You certainly enjoy painting entire masses of people with the same brush. If you're a christian, which I think you are, how do you reconcile your god's commandment not to judge others, whilst you readily engage in that very practice? I'm not saying you should become an atheist. But maybe you should go back and read your good book a bit more. There's still some lessons in it that atheists have embraced (judge not lest ye be judged), that you have yet to come to grips with.
