Honestly I've heard Christians say the inverse a plenty, That sense Heaven exists fuck the real world, So my view is that sense there is no proof of an after life, we should secure things for our kin, as the Mythos of Blood as it were is the reality of the world, I want a better world for myself and those who come after me.
Most likely misguided evangelicals. Be aware that the vast majority of Christians world wide have an actually biblical view that we are called to be stewards of the earth.
I'm curious, why do you feel the need to secure the future of mankind? The fact is, there is no future for mankind. Even if human beings managed to evade extinction for the next 100 million years, we will become extinct. Even if we somehow manage to become "immortal" the universe will either reset (thus destroying all life) or will succumb to heat death (and thus destroy all matter, including life). Whether the universe ends tomorrow or in 18 quadrillion years, all of the "good" (which cannot truly exist in your view) you accomplish in your life will inevitably be undone and will, in fact, be as if it never happened in the first place. Your struggle against the inevitable might sound noble, but truthfully...it's retarded
I've heard plenty say it, Main one that comes to mind is a Cath friend of mine (In seminary BTW), and that's simple, while things may end, I wish for the world I desire to exist, so that this way those that come after can have it and my enemies may be kept from rising again for the longest, while nothing is forever, a victory is grand regardless.
But it isn't a victory. You've already lost. Your resistance is futile and, from a universal perspective, completely insignificant and worthless.
*And let me act as an atheist who doesn't pretend morality exists: fuck your desires for the world. Survival and pleasure are the only things that matter and I will only live for my own pleasure, regardless of how many people it hurts. In fact, I may delight in hurting others and the only reason I don't do so openly is so that I am not interrupted from my desires by the stupid men and women that enforce laws in an injust world.
What is your argument against my persona? If good and evil don't exist, your "morality" is merely your opinion. Why would I care what you or anyone else thinks? I am the beginning and the end of my own personal universe, how could you possibly convince me I'm wrong?*
