1. How Did You Become an Atheist?
With the examples of the Toothfairy, Santa and the Easterbunny it was inevitable to wonder if God was another made up entity. I decided it probably was.
Quote:2. What happens when we die?Compost.
Quote:3. What if you’re wrong? And there is a Heaven? And there is a HELL!
Quote:4. Without God, where do you get your morality from?Only without the rewards and punishments can you actually make an uncoerced moral choice. Avoiding the whip and prostituting oneself for a reward isn't actually moral behavior.
Quote:5. If there is no God, can we do what we want? Are we free to murder and rape? While good deeds are unrewarded?
Quote:6. If there is no god, how does your life have any meaning?
Quote:7. Where did the universe come from?Who knows? (Hint: repeating that goddidit doesn't count as knowing anything.)
Quote: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?Uh .. I don't know .. how about screw them?
Quote:9. What’s your view of Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris?All make some good points. Dawkins and Harris are piss poor philosophers. I don't go in for hero worship.
Quote:10. If there is no God, then why does every society have a religion?
Great question. [Hint: it isn't because literal gods are over-running the planet.]
