Fear of death, fear of the unknown, fear of no absolute moral values, fear of uncertainty, fear of social rejection, fear of hell, fear of god. That's why they always think they have you when you admit that you don't know something. It has taken me a while but I finally feel OK with saying that I don't know the answer to some questions. I don't need to know in order to lead a good life. Atheism is bravery in the face of fear.
Which is why I have said I do not know when I do not know the answer to a question. However when i do know i am more than willing to share what little I have.
