So no, the atheist did not answer the question with that image, that image only serves to make the question far more pressing, becayse that image is accurate. We are bur specks in the vast universe. How does the atheist argue for morals in light of that? How can the atheist argue that our morals and our virtues are important whisle arguing that we ourselves aren't?

Perspective bro... not everything is this binary lightswitch as religion has conditioned your brain into seeing it.

Yeah... literally in the grand scope of the universe and in the far reaches of time we are a bunch of frightened little organisms trying to survive on a speck circling one of billions of stars in thousands of galaxies...

But it still matters that I treat others kindly. Because while light years away stars too big to contemplate explode and release energy a that could destroy a million earths... I will remember the person that did something nice for me or my neighbor.

On the other hand, this life is just dirty rags before the real eternal life in your God's glory right? This is just a test to see if you adhere to the behavior modification program god made for you and get your real life in heaven or get sent to the eternal human torture and suffering dimension.

If anything, it's the theist that sees this life and morality as nothing but a series of vague tests and traps to avoid for the real deal later... while an atheist actually cares about this life and it's consequences to those they meet and live with now.
