I find it interesting that you feel the need to blame all of the despicable things that you see man doing on some supernatural force that you claim does not exist.. You say if there was a God it would be God's fault because He does not stop it. Then you say maybe a Devil is running things and it is his fault.
It's God's fault because He allows it. If there is a God it is His fault because He does not force us to do right.
It's the devil's fault because he made me do it. The devil made me do it so it is not my fault.

You rule out the existence of the supernatural and then you blame the supernatural for all the wrong that man is doing and has done. Why don't you just blame man for what he has done and what he is doing that you see as so wrong.
Just man up and own it.

Once you get rid of the supernatural and its influence upon man then man is just a highly developed animal that is currently at the top of the food chain. As an animal he does what is in his nature to do. Nothing is either right or wrong it is just what it is. You do not fault the mountain lion for chasing and eating the rabbit. You cannot fault a group of men for orchestrating the Holocaust. They are all just animals doing what is in their nature to do.
Those of us who desire peace and physical safety either kill or lock up those who threaten that peace and safety. We do it on a large scale as in international war or a smaller scale as in local law enforcement. But really, who is to say these animals are evil. They are not evil, they are just human animals.
We see some humans who strive for power over others and we see the strong humans at times prey on the weak ones. Isn't that just the nature of things. It is neither moral or immoral. Morality doesn't really exist. There is only human animal instinct and rules he puts in place to make his survival possible.

Yes, If there is no supernatural there is only a secular chaotic evolutionary process taking place and who knows or should really care how it will end up. This planet could be struck by an asteroid and destroyed along with all of mankind and the universe would just go on as if nothing had happened. There are thousands of other ways we could all just be wiped out.
If I can just get through my life in comfort and safety I should be satisfied. Isn't that the most I can hope for and isn't that all that should concern me. You say, what about future generations? I wish them, Good Luck. If there is no supernatural that is all they have to count on. Everything exists just by random chaotic chance anyway.

This is all either true OR there is a God. There are only the two alternatives.
