Do atheist children have a sad outlook on life?

That's a funny story and I see where your coming from but ill have to side with your nephew on this one and no, not because of evolution/equality. That little pincher bug has life just like you and I, so unless its posing a dangerous threat, who are we to take its life away? Last i checked, Jesus gave life, he didnt take life away so remember, life, any and all life, should be respected, even if it is just an insignificant pincher bug.
