Question from Brenton: Is the universe eternal? Answer by SmartLX: We don’t know, but whether it is or not, neither option makes a god very likely. Cosmologists now almost universally accept the Big Bang as a factual event which occurred about fourteen billion years ago. A far greater point of contention is whether the matter … Continue reading “Eternity, and not by Calvin Klein”
Question from Dean: Brief background: I am a Christian. When I was raising my Children we went to Church occasionally and my kids went to Summer Camp (religious one) every year until their early teens. (I know, very brief but it should do) My Son is now in his 30’s with two beautiful children and … Continue reading “Religious Education and Religious Schools”
Question from Emma: I am not sure if I am brave enough to be an atheist. I am pretty cowardly and I fear death, however the only logical explanation I can reach is that God doesn’t exist, at least not in the way people think. Are most Christians only Christians because they are scared? Answer … Continue reading “Fear”
Question from Steve: I would consider myself an agnostic theist with no ties to any organized religion. However Atheism confuses me for its inability to acknowledge the flaws of a lack of purpose. If everything and anything you or any being ever does is without purpose, even the potential for the existence of life is … Continue reading “That Little Flame That Lights A Fire Under Your Ass”
Question from Aaron: Hey guys, I’ve been pretty solidly atheist for about two years now, and one attribute of religious perspectives that irks me is the arrogance they exude. Such arrogance is often entirely unintentional, but to proclaim knowledge about something that is entirely unprovable does require at least some arrogance on a believer’s part. … Continue reading “Arrogant Atheists Anonymous”

I’m on the verge of becoming an atheist but there’s a couple of questions which I can’t … Continue reading “Cloudy With A 15% Chance of God”
Question from Apostate: Hi there, I have seen this statement, “belief is not a choice,” in several atheist documents. I have never seen it well supported. For instance I once saw an atheist state they were unable to believe they could fly and then flap their arms to demonstrate that they are unable to fly. … Continue reading “Belief and Choice”
Question from AJ: Dear atheists, I would like to be an atheist because it makes sense logically, but I have been raised to have blind faith in a few different belief systems — some mainstream and some non-mainstream. I have been trying to let go of my beliefs, but I find I am holding onto … Continue reading ““I wanna be like you-woo-woo…””
Question from Michael: Ever since puberty I have suffered from very heavy and constant depression. Having grown up with being nearly deaf, gay and somewhere between agnostic and atheist, I haven’t had a lot to fall back on in the way of faith, god and other such crutches, nor have I had many folks to … Continue reading “What is my question?”
Question from Leon: Hey, I’m a 17 year old boy and I can’t seem to get my mind off the idea of God and religion. It all happened during the May 21 end of the world BS caused by Harold camping. I knew it wouldn’t happen but it got me thinking, if I did die … Continue reading “Death On The Brain”
