Birmingham, Alabama
Quote:4.How old are you ?
22
Quote:5.Do you believe in the afterlife (some atheist than I know believe to the afterlife) ? If no , can you explain why ?
No, I do not. There is no good reason to believe in it.
Quote:6.Did you read all the Bible ? If you read all the bible what biblical canon (catholic , orthodox , protestant etc...) ?
No, I've skimmed it.
Quote:7.Did you read all the Quran ? (Yes I know that for Muslims if you read a translation you don't read the Koran).
Not at all.
Quote:8.Did you read an other religious text ? If yes what is it or what are they ?
I've read some of the Bhagavadgita.
Quote:9.What are yours hobbies ?
Playing video games, tabletop roleplaying games, creative writing.
Quote:10.Can you define the goal of the life ?
Everyone has different goals in life. You have to figure it out individually. For me, my goal is to make a difference in the world.
Quote:11.Sometimes do you think ? I will go in Hell if god does exist.
Not seriously. Even if hell does exist, it's where all the fun people will be, so that's where I want to be.
Quote:12.Sometimes do you think that God does exist maybe ?
Once I thought that. I wanted a red vest really badly, and the perfect one showed up at Walmart, and I was like, "Whoa! That's exactly like I imagined it." It was freaky.
Quote:13.What do you think about people who believe in monotheistic religions ?
They are much more socialized and well-adjusted to society than I am. Good for them.
Quote:14.What do you think about people who believe in polytheistic religions ?
Polytheism makes a lot more sense than monotheism, in my opinion.
Quote:15.What do you think about people who believe in a religion where there are not god(s) ?
That's interesting. Tell me more.
Quote:16.Do you have an interest about philosophy to have answers about the life ? Can you explain why ?
Philosophy asks a lot of questions, but provides no satisfying answers.
Quote:17.Do you fear to dead ? (I speak in a metaphysical context and about your friends , family etc...).
I am not afraid of dying, if that is what you are asking. In fact, I rather look forward to it. Finally, a relief to all the suffering that is life! Likewise, I do not fear death for my friends, because they deserve to have their suffering end as well.
Quote:18.Do you like your life ? If you like your life , why do you like your life. If you don't like your life I would like to know the reason.
I like parts of it. It is always a struggle. I have struggled with depression and ADHD all my life. It's hard fighting your own brain chemistry all the time. The main reason why I am still here is that I believe I need to make my life worthwhile, and I will spend the rest of my life trying to do that.
Quote:19.Do you dream to live in a world where there are not place for the religions ? If yes or no explain please.
That would be ideal. Religion is a nice way to control people, but I would prefer if people were free of it.
Quote:20.Do you think that politic is like religion ? Explain why this is not equal or not.
Yes and no. Religion dictates how we organize the entire universe, and politics is more narrow than that. Yet, they're both things that people like to fight over and be ridiculous about.
