Twenty questions for atheists
#23
RE: Twenty questions for atheists
1.Why are you atheist ?

Theism is nonsensical, and even if it wasn't, there are thousands of competing theisms, most of them claiming exclusive truth. Most of them are certainly wrong, so why think any of them are right?

2.How are you became atheist ?

By no longer believing in God.

5.Do you believe in the afterlife (some atheist than I know believe to the afterlife) ? If no , can you explain why ?

There is no good reason to assume there is an afterlife, so I don't believe there is one in spite of that fact.

6.Did you read all the Bible ? If you read all the bible what biblical canon (catholic , orthodox , protestant etc...) ?

Yes, and several. I own a copy of the English Standard Version, but I usually use online bible sites for actual reference, so I can access all versions at once.

7.Did you read all the Quran ? (Yes I know that for Muslims if you read a translation you don't read the Koran).


Only in parts. If I want blood-soaked fiction, A Song of Ice and Fire is a hell of a lot more interesting.

8.Did you read an other religious text ? If yes what is it or what are they ?

Never in their entirety.

10.Can you define the goal of the life ?

I can define goals for my life. I cannot define a goal for life itself because I am a fatalist nihilist, apparently, and there is none.

11.Sometimes do you think ? I will go in Hell if god does exist.

It is not something I take seriously in the slightest.

12.Sometimes do you think that God does exist maybe ?

No.

13.What do you think about people who believe in monotheistic religions ?

I think a fair amount don't really take it very seriously. I don't mind those people, though they really should pay attention to what it is they think they believe in. Those who do treat their religion as though it was a real and relevant thing sometimes frighten me, because they are slavishly devoted to a being which is a jealous and terrible monster according to its own instruction manual, and they strike me as being one holy email away from committing any kind of imaginable atrocity.

14.What do you think about people who believe in polytheistic religions ?

Not much. They're just as silly as monotheists but are generally less of a threat to people.

15.What do you think about people who believe in a religion where there are not god(s) ?

They are silly and probably mostly harmless.

16.Do you have an interest about philosophy to have answers about the life ? Can you explain why ?

Philosophy is something to major in if you want to work at Taco Bell. That's pretty much it. I have an interest in some philosophical concepts (not the philosophers themselves or their specific ideas, I generally find that boring and droll), but it is just an interest. Philosophy has no answer for the meaning of life any more than religion does.

17.Do you fear to dead ? (I speak in a metaphysical context and about your friends , family etc...).

Yes. Being alive is really great. But, it's going to happen most likely, and I've made my peace with it.

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.


On the whole, I am quite satisfied.

19.Do you dream to live in a world where there are not place for the religions ? If yes or no explain please.

I dream of living in a world where religion is treated properly: as the artifact of our species' ignorant infancy. Religion's only real value is anthropological. It really is something we should have moved on from by now, as a species.

20.Do you think that politic is like religion ? Explain why this is not equal or not.

Politics is the discussion of real life matters. Religion is the discussion of fiction by people who have difficulty telling the difference.
