If I did, I could perhaps comfort myself that these immoral, vile, evil people -- people hellbent on exploiting others and generally making the world a more terrible place for everyone else -- faced eternal damnation.

As it is, my only comfort is that such immoral, vile, evil people are probably utterly incapable of compassion, joy, or any other human experience that actually makes life worthwhile.
