For answering the questions in a respectful and mature manner. Most Atheist will say that they study religions and are interested in what people believe (or their culture) but if asked about their “beliefs” I fine that most Atheist are cold, indifferent and down right immature in their responses.

Again, Thank You.

2) Where do your morals come from? Do you think it’s easy or practical for people to exist in any society without morals? Why do you think that is?

3) What is the meaning of life? I’m not afraid to say I don’t know. For me, it’s often simply the experience of living.

4) Is atheism a religion? No, it the absence of religion.

5) If you don’t pray, what do you do during troubling times? Talk to friends. You know, in real life.

6) Should atheists be trying to convince others to stop believing in God? Yes, religion is a mental illness.

7) Weren’t some of the worst atrocities in the 20th century committed by atheists? Yes, but equal (and worse) tragedies were committed in the name of religion. Logical fallacy.

8 ) How could billions of people be wrong when it comes to belief in God? The same way it’s easy for people to believe in Hitler, communism, witches, and check scams. Popularity does not equate with sanity.

9) Why does the universe exist? We don’t know yet, and probably never will. But that’s better than making up a reason just to feel better about not knowing.

10) How did life originate? Over more time and more gradually than our little brains can get a handle on.

11) Is all religion harmful? Yes, in that it’s all delusional and is ultimately crafted to serve men.

12) What’s so bad about religious moderates? They work hard to tolerate and enable stupidity and deception.

13) Is there anything redeeming about religion? The only thing would be a thing around which to gather and create community. I think that’s probably one of the main reasons people become religious. Atheism needs to develop face to face communities and gatherings to offer a sense of community to us that’s equally involving.

14) What if you’re wrong about God (and He does exist)? That’s the hard sell of religion. I’m not wrong.

15) Shouldn’t all religious beliefs be respected? All people should be respected. Belief systems that try to decieve people and manipulate them should not be.

16) Are atheists smarter than theists? No, just more aware.

17) How do you deal with the historical Jesus if you don’t believe in his divinity? There’s no proof in any contemporaneous historical account that he did exist at all. It’s a metaphor at best, a fairy tale at worst.

18) Would the world be better off without any religion? Yes. It would also be better without dishonest manipulative people. It would be better with education, more women’s rights, and a lot of other things.

19) What happens when we die? Nothing. Existence stops. It is as it was before you were born.

1) On holiness and godliness:
Define what you mean when you talk about god being holy? Does holiness deal with the quality of being godlike? What is being godlike? Is it being incorporeal? If it incorporeal, how can it be all-powerful or omniscient? If it’s being everywhere and nowhere, explain that paradox. Is it being immortal?

2) On god and law:
What does god think about all the violence that he has both committed and sanctioned? Does god enforce right and wrong? How has god created a law of morality and then been able to live outside of it? Is god then a vigilante? If god is the standard for justice, is it OK to commit acts of violence because god has condoned violence?

3) On god the being:
Does god does not live in this universe, but in another? If it lives in another universe, how has it taken an interest in us? Does it live in another dimension? Where does god live? How does it travel? How does it communicate? Does it eat, sleep or defecate?

4) On god as a supernatural being:
Were the Greek gods natural or supernatural? Are the gods of the Hindu pantheon natural or supernatural? Is tarot or astrology natural or supernatural? Is Ghost Hunters real or imaginary? Then what is not supernatural about god?

Why don’t you believe in God?
All my imagination was used up on Santa and the Tooth Fairy.

What is the meaning of life?
That’s up to you mate. Don’t be lazy.

Weren’t some of the worst atrocities in the 2oth century commited by atheists?
No. They were commited by mad men.

How could millions of people be wrong when it comes to belief in God?
Hey, bell bottoms were once thought to be a good idea. Popular sure don’t mean right.

Why does the universe exist?
It is an illogical question…it’s simply not a why question.

Is there anyhting redeeming about religion?
You chaps sure do have nice cathederals.

Where do morals come from?
The morality shoppe on fifth and sandburn Ave.

What fi you’re wrong about god and he exists?
Whoops….lots of egg on my face? I wonder which one it will be. I do hope it’s Ganesha, always liked that wise elephany guy.

Is ALL religion harmful?
Nope. Just the ones that murder the innocent, hate the homosexuals, resent philosophy, demand dogmatic adherence to faith doctrines, oh wait…guess so.

Are atheists smarter than theists?
Well..if you need to ask…

What happens when we die?
A return to the state of preexistence. It’s not so bad really…just think..we won’t have to pay any more taxes…and no more bad dates.

If you don’t pray, what do you do during troubling times?
Umh…I actually DO somehting.
