1.) Why are you an atheist?
Dearth of evidence
2.) What is life like for an atheist?
Work, sleep, eat, piss, shit, shower, shave and attempt to enjoy myself in a myriad of ways with the remaining time.
3.) There is no God. How do you cope with that? How do you find purpose and meaning in your life?
Same way I cope with no Santa Clause. There's nothing to cope with so the question has no meaning for me. I assign the meaning of my life. In short, I have one life to live and in the grand scheme of things it's extremely short so I eliminate and avoid bullshit at all costs; it will suck the life out of you. I take care of my responsibilities and attempt to enjoy every last second of the remaining time.
4.) What are your thoughts on death?
Like everyone else my day will come. When the race is over I want to ensure that my ride isn't pristine; that's boring. I want to cross the finish line leaving behind a trail of sparks because I'm on rims, going Mach 3, engine smoking, glass busted out, no lights, paint long gone, bumpers ripped off, radio blaring with my hair on fire in order to say "Fuck an A, that was a hell of a ride".
The only caveat is that if my wife survives me I would like to tell her one last time that she's the love of my life.
5.) Has being an atheist changed your life in any way? If so, how?
I've been atheist since I was 8, so it's tough to answer. Realizing adults, particularly those that I was supposed to trust and depend on, had no problem peddling the absurd made me distrustful of authority and instilled in me a lifelong healthy skepticism.
