Well if he thinks life is just one big torture and cruel joke, then he's essentially saying he would have preferred not to have lived in the first place.
So just to follow up on this logic, if a child is afraid of his parents finding out he's done something naughty, are those parents also not worth having?
Also people who are afraid of breaking the law, because of they fear the punishment of the law, is that a Government not worthy to govern either?
Will add, if you're someone who doesn't harm, rape and/or murder just because you fear something awful will happen to you after you're dead, you're probably mental.
My opinion on it hasn't changed. Anyone who doesn't fear God is a fool... and the people who don't think He even exists are even bigger fools.

Nah, plenty of subtsance. I'm just tired of arguing with ignorant people. It's not like you all will ever admit you were so obviously wrong.

Look, I’m just not going to believe in some imaginary friend. it’s like thinking some ghost will guide you to some form of goodness, whatever that may be. How about we take control of our own lives? Makes more sense to me than praying to some kind of higher power. You dipshit.

Well we can't give eternal torment, but we do give life imprisoment for certain crimes.
Anyway the extent of the punishment is one thing, but lets focus on the principal first that it's not worth following a Being who is willing to punish us for our crimes and/or deviant behaviour.
So again is it bad parenting if kids behave with a combination of love from their parents and fear for the consequences of bad behaviour? Forget abuse cases, we are only talking about the fear aspect.
And again is it wrong for me to fear penalties for wreckless driving? Does that mean Government is bad and not worth having for putting that fear into me every time I feel like speeding?

I think at this point you're failing to recognize what I'm saying or you're purposely straw-maning me by ignoring what I'm saying for your own narrative.
