It's doing fine, thanks for asking. I hope your atheism is doing fine as well. I know lots of people whose atheism is doing fine also. I hear that some peoples' atheism has a long gestation period followed by a painful birth. Mine was a natural birth, so no problems there. I hope everyone's atheism is doing just fine.

And howdy...

Well, I'm sure that many people like to dramatize something of such little significance...at least now.

Well, the question assumes two things:

1 You have a specific definition of what nothing is.

2 There could be a state of affairs where nothing could exist.

If either 1 or 2 cannot be satisfied, then the question is incoherent, so can't be answered.

If both 1 and 2 can be satisfied, then my answer would be, 'I don't know and I don't think anyone else knows. Maybe we'll find out one day.'

You atheists think you have all the answers; it makes me sick.

No faith involved. I just don't think the claim that at least one god exists has been demonstrated to be likely true. Same goes for any other claim which I don't accept as likely true.

Yeah, they think they can win any argument with facts and reason. Ridiculous.

Signed Concerned.

If I got bit by an atheist, what kind of drugs would they make me take?

Try sticking your toast butter-side-up onto the back of a cat, chuck it across the room and see what happens. If that doesn't work out, try not dropping your toast in the first place. Wait, was that a question about my atheism?
