1. How Did You Become an Atheist?
I was born one, don't think I ever believed in god. I think I had more of a belief in Santa than I ever did in god. At least Santa gave me presents.
2. What happens when we die?
Our brain stops functioning and our consciousness is gone. We won't know we've ever existed.
3. What if you’re wrong? And there is a Heaven? And there is a HELL!
Then god, if he did exist, will know my reasons for not believing. He would know me better than I know myself, and surely, he would only come to one conclusion. I might be a bit of an asshole, but I don't think I deserve an eternity of torture. If god were to send me to hell, simply for being what he made me to be, then fuck that god. I would gladly go to hell and serve Satan, he is no doubt more switched on than any of you jesus freaks.
But I'm not wrong, so it's pretty pointless to speculate.
4. Without God, where do you get your morality from?
I use my brain.
Anyone who gets their morality from a book is far scarier than anyone who doesn't.
5. If there is no God, can we do what we want? Are we free to murder and rape? While good deeds are unrewarded?
If you need this question answering you are admitting the only thing stopping you from murdering and raping other people is the threat of eternal damnation.
Who is more fucked up, the guy who recognises it's wrong from a very basic, human standpoint? Or the one who thinks we would all be doing it without an overbearing father figure telling us not to.
6. If there is no god, how does your life have any meaning?
It has as much meaning as anyone else would give their own. If you think you need god to give yourself meaning, that's still you giving yourself meaning.
7. Where did the universe come from?
I don't know, nor do I know if it came from anything at all.
Then again, you don't know. Nobody knows. If you think you do, that's all it is, you
think you do.
8. What about miracles? What all the people who claim to have a connection with Jesus? What about those who claim to have seen saints or angels?
What about all those that have claimed to see UFO's, or claimed to have been abducted?
Bollocks, that's what.
Sure you might believe it, doesn't make it real.
9. What’s your view of Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris?
Never really looked into Harris too much. Dawkins and Hitch I quite like, but I don't think they're the moral authority or anything.
10. If there is no God, then why does every society have a religion?
It doesn't.
