This blogger maintains that hope does not in theory exist in secular atheism (the intersection of secularism and atheism where God, Satan and religions are all rejected), and neither do evil wishes from the dark side exist in it. Instead of hopes and evil wishes, secular atheists rely on their own efforts to affect the probabilities of outcomes and on statistical models to predict them. Any failure in their forecasts can be attributed to inaccuracies and biases in data gathering and the lack of objectivity in the evaluation of true data.
When truths and realities are not in agreement with the secular atheists' expectations, the minds of secular atheists become unglued from their bodies and their souls become detached from what they had come to expect as their eternity, becoming at-once "homeless," wandering about as refugees with no specific destination, holding onto shattered expectations that can fester like a cancer consuming their souls.
Instead of praying to God, hoping for answers, assistance and healing, they take matters into their own hands, literally, and demonstrate their displeasure with the realities that are before them. Whether such demonstrative behaviors would help heal the pains of shattered expectations this blogger does not know, for he always prays to God for help on those occasions when he is unable to repair them himself (that is almost, if not a hundred percent of the time), and he always gets the same answer: humility. It never changes.
With humility, there is never an occasion for a shattered expectation; it is pride that gives rise to worldly expectations that are more often than not unfulfilled. On the other hand, hope, that feeling that things would work out for the best, is a natural offshoot of humility which is the source of strength for the Blessed Virgin Mary, Who said yes to God at the Annunciation, [2] and for Her Beloved Son, Jesus, Who said yes to God at the Garden of Gethsemane. [3] The source of strength that arises out of humility is the healing energy that leads to fulfillment, although the path to it not necessarily easy, short or painless but one that is fortified with hope.
With humility comes the glory of God; with pride comes the sins of Satan. The choice between humility and pride is for one to make (including secular atheists) and God's hope is for all to make the right choice.
