Blame not the pathetic atheist
who sees life as a futile void
he is a victim groping at heist
his incessant psychosis avoid
pardon his misunderstanding
when he says there is no God
his mind epithets backsliding
sane path splintered his gourd
the atheist is an unwitting victim
of societal ignorance, bitterness
smallness, insecurities in dictum
of your pious world of tenderness
our false sense of value shaped him
the confused much touted science
chortled ovation of laureates beam
not to see behind life an omniscience
to correct reversed mind takes wars
their existentialism do not condemn
and remember, things could be worse
pray, for you could be one of them!

Sorry but I don't agree with you, I don't think that atheists are unwetting victims of social ignorance, rather victims of theirselves of their ignorance about how the almighty can help us daily everywhere. We have to pray for them and at least respect their decision, but - it's my personal point of view - we can't say that they are victims of society's ignorance. I wonder if you can explain how they can be that.

Indeed I understand your confusion in this aspect. What I mean is a paradoxical statement to prove what is called 'SOCIETY ON CHARACTER', the kind of false values enthrenched by the society you live in has a very great impact in shaping your worldview. Existentialism is the metaphysical philosophy that potends that human beings are free to make choices but should be ready to take its inherrent responsibilities as well. Humans should not blame everything on God and say 'that's the way God wants it'. They feel that it is unfair and wrong to blame a God who is not there to say 'Shut up, I am not to blame for your mistakes'. They don't believe in one supreme being behind creation. They beleive that man and science can lead humanity to greater heights, and that we are living in an indifferent world in futility of an absurd void. They believe that life is meaningless and absurd. You see what the much touted science by society and exaltation of the metaphysical has put the atheist in mazes so deep he can't find his bearing? But you see, they are mistaken. They are a confused lot, that needs to be prayed for. I am not in support of existentialism but I guess they also have a point that is misplaced and manifestly flawed. There is even what is called Christian Existentialism. Do you agree with me now?
