I imagine the life of an atheistic praying mantis to be rath

Summary

This quote suggests that a praying mantis who does not believe in the existence of a higher power would have a challenging and difficult life. The idea of an atheistic praying mantis highlights the potential dilemma faced by an insect that relies on certain natural behaviors and instincts, such as praying, while lacking the belief in a deity or any spiritual significance behind those actions. Thus, the quote implies that the contradiction between inherent instincts and disbelief in a higher purpose would lead to a torturous existence for the praying mantis.
