You find that interesting?!!!
It's obviously copy pasted from some apologetic handout. I bet you anything he's already got his standard answers coming with it as well. It's also bullcrap on so many levels, since it assumes something that isn't exactly a hallmark or atheists. The belief that there actually is a god and not simply some people making all that shit up. Therefore the questions can be answered by people did it, people did it, people do it ad nauseam. Except the last question, which again is pure apologetic pleading.
I have no idea where it's from.
But I still thought those were good questions. Those things he listed are all things that people struggle with, both theist and not.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
