Whenever someone makes a life and death decision, there will be a theist around to claim that someone is “playing God.” The thing is that when it is a life or death decision, we aren’t playing. Unlike theists, atheists view this life as the only life we have. We don’t view life as a game used to decide whether we win eternal bliss or lose and get tortured for all eternity. Atheists don’t play God, we live life.

Living life means that we have to take responsibility for our decisions. Do can’t really say that whatever happens is God’s will. We have no excuses. This means we have to think about the consequences of our actions.

Here is a great video I saw on this topic:
