I'm not sure whether this is the right place to post this, but I'd really appreciate some answers to some/all of the following questions. I'm interested in how an average atheist thinks about these topics. It would be great if you could give some explanation for your answers. I'm coming from a protestant worldview.
1. Does God exist?
Probably not. There is no evidence for any gods.
Quote:2. Where did the universe come from?
We don't know, but we're working on it.
Quote:3. Does my life have a purpose?
It has whatever purpose you give it.
Quote:4. Why do people suffer?
Shit happens.
Quote:5. Is there life after death?
There is no evidence of it - there is not even evidence of a mechanism for it.
Quote:6. Can I distinguish right from wrong?
Unless you're a psychopath. Or very religious.
Quote:7. Can people know truth?
Some.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
