Atheists vs Believers

Atheists vs Believers
The believer thinks that atheists don’t think life matters much, because when you die, you’re just a lump of inanimate meat. Atheists think that believers don’t think life matters much, because it’s just a waiting room for heaven.
Both are, of course, incorrect: Atheists value life because that’s all there is, and believers value life because they consider it a gift from a deity (or deities).
Neither side will hear that, though, because they think they have to oppose each other, and it’s easier to do that if you dehumanize the other guy… So listening to this simple fact is impossible for them: Everyone values their lives.
