Our society "says" a number of things on this issue. You simply have chosen the ones that "appeal" to you, of course.

"None of it matters very much" is a new contribution to the discussion. Although Christine did say, "I don't believe depraved savages deserve much of my time or attention, and I do not think it damages me spiritually that they die," which displays a similar sensibility, I guess. I hadn't considered it all in this light before. Silly me, I had thought it mattered greatly! Maybe we atheists are a bit foolish about what happens here on earth. I must get spiritual-- it will help so in the peace of mind department!
