    The atheists of the 20th century recognized life’s absurdity if there is no God, but the New Atheists childishly ignore this.

If there is no God, What's wrong with robbery, murder, and mayhem? Only God makes these things wrong

IF there is no God, then there is no need of a moral law. How convenient! The laws of the state can often be used, not always, to further the interests of the ruling classes. So there's a need for an absolute Moral law that transcends the laws of the state. At last, you have turned the tables on the new (and frivolous) atheism. Bravo!

there are two things, what evidence have we that we are not satisfied when we get things? also, couldn't it be a biological adaptation to keep us moving and achieving, if we are truly never satisfied?

@Jacob. It's called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The lowest tier is physiological needs. Then safety. Then social. Then self-esteem. Then self-actualization: a goal, not a need we can fulfill. "Our hearts are restless, O Lord, until they rest in you."

So because people want there to be a god, there IS a god? Rubbish.
