How do you live in this world - filled with wars and chaos - with no hope of redemption or things getting better, and just thing “yep, this is all there is, life is good”. As Christians, we have assurance, certainty and comfort in that Jesus is coming back to judge the world, destroy all the wicked and bring us to eternal life. Atheists don’t have that. Even worse, some even prefer to insult this God. What’s keeping me grounded in this life is the knowledge that God dictates when my life ends- not me.

        The same as I would define it if there was a god. Minimising suffering across all beings who can suffer across all time and space, and keeping that minimized, maximising pleasure across all beings who can feel pleasure across all time and space. At least, that’s my personal definition. Others will have other definitions.
