Quick Question for the Atheists

Quick question, atheists: If you're an atheist, does that mean you're not allowed to like the world?

Reason I ask is, somebody tried to say that #1 there must be no God because #2 the world sucks so bad. I was like, dude - what are you talking about? I always thought the world's awesome! I always thought it was set up beautifully, very believably, in a convincing and naturalistic manner! Then I read a book by Richard Dawkins - he seemed to think the world's awesome too!

Maybe it's just your rank and file atheists who resort to such trite arguments?

The weirdest part was, then this atheist started ragging on evolution. Not by name, necessarily, - they didn't call out "evolution" or "natural selection" per say, but they were complaining about it nonetheless: the stronger creatures devouring the weak, et cetera cetera. Complaining about that.

These atheists need to get it through their thick skulls: evolution is a PROVEN FACT. Grousing about the particulars isn't going to bolster their damn case.
