Answer 2

You need to update your idea of what an atheist is!! Avoid the trap the christians set by trying to redefine and slur atheists!! ATHEIST - someone who does not believe in a God – any God – not just the Christian one. But that does not mean they do not hold strong moral or religious beliefs! They can follow any religion that does not have a god and there are a lot of those!! Like BUDDHISM – Religious teaching from Buddha and his followers that by destroying greed, hatred and delusion (the cause of all suffering) man can attain perfect enlightenment!! Where do you think christianity got it's ideas of a soul and afterlife from? They stole it from the pagan tribes and peoples which existed hundreds and thousands of years before christianity!! From the stone age through vikings, Egyptians, Maoris, Aborigines, American Indians and especially the chinese, they all had elaborate funerals and grave goods to speed the soul into the next life with comfort!! Atheists can have religion, spirituality, reality and everything else that does not have a god!! Add christians and muslims together and they amount to just under a third of the world population the majority of the rest is made up of atheists and religions without gods!! So they are in the majority here!!!

Answer 3

1. If a man came from monkeys. . . Similarly one can ask--If a man came from God(s) why God(s) still exist?

2.Spirituality without dogma of organized religion is still spirituality, so Atheists, their questions and answers belong to the section--Religion and Spirituality--as well as members of all organized religions.

What many people lack is humility to accept that the true Universal Powers can solve Universal problems without the input of organized religions, and they certainly can deal successfully with the issue of Theism and/or Atheism. Tank you for asking.

Answer 4

Terrible question.
It's almost like evolution doesn't exist to some people. There are monkeys for the same reason there are horses, or cockroaches.
Evolution is the process of decisions.Very simply, some decided to evolve into something more 'human' where others did not.
It that so hard to believe?
You honesty think we just appeared here, as is, in the image of 'God'? Then, where did elephants come from? I don't look like an elephant. Nor do I think 'God' looks like an elephant. But, to say that means sure as hell he mustn't look like me either. Or anything for that matter. Have you seen her? Yeah, exactly.
PLEASE!
Science is FACT!
Organized religion is a storybook.

Answer 6

What are the two most asked questions besides refuting Pascal's Wager, Alex?

Answer 7

Atheism is a personal religion where the worshiper is the 'god'.
They have no concept of the harm they do to themselves, yet, they want company.
They try to justify their beliefs while looking all the more foolish in the eyes of those they criticize.
It is said that even a fish would be safer if it would keep it's mouth shut.
Remember, even though they don't believe in a God, they are being controlled by one. Satan is their owner.
