who created god? if so, are there any other questions that just get asked over and over again by non christians that bug you in the same manner that we non christians get bugged, by our drinking game questions?

All the time!
Actually, as a Catholic, it's the "questions" we get asked over and over again by other Christians that sometimes make me feel like responding with *drink* although that would just reinforce the mindset among some that we're hopelessly lost.
Among them:
"Why do you pray to Mary/the saints?"
"Why do you worship statues?"
"Why aren't Catholics allowed to read the Bible?"
And other nonsense.
Thanks for the opportunity to vent, a little!

I asked a very similar question last week, I was wondering the same thing.

Like Rachel K, I also saw several questions being posted yesterday about Jesus and Horus and, even being an atheist, it got on my last nerve and I started answering *Drink* to those questions. I then got a violation notice for my answer so I must have answered the same one as Rachel. It made me frown when I got that violation notice in my e-mail this morning... :-(
Being a former Catholic, the questions about Catholicism really get on my nerves. I feel like I can't go 5 minutes without seeing a question about priests molesting children. I think most (not all) Protestant Christians are very ignorant about Catholicism. The other questions directed towards Catholics that irritate me are:
-Are Catholics polytheists? (Or similar questions about the Trinity)
-Why do Catholics worship Mary/false idols?
I bet there are lots of questions that Christians see here everyday that irritate them. Except...many of them believe that it is sinful to drink.

Yes there are! Yesterday about twenty people posted about Jesus and Horus. Problem is, they're not genuinely looking for Christian opinions, they're just trying to poke holes in our religion and make us look stupid. I drank to one of the questions and got my first violation notice in response. Goes to show it's not only the Christians who do the reporting.
I used to get really bothered with questions about God's omnipotence verses him benevolence but then I realized that they actually had a point and it sent me on this great theological reading kick I've been on lately. All the same, non-Christians post the same question over and over sometimes. Especially that Horus one, you'd think it would pop up in the "similar questions" area.

I could become a Christian alcoholic if I drank to all of the questions that get asked on here like that.
Another favorite of mine is anything having to do with Hilter being a Christian. Studying history in the least bit kills that.
There are more, but I can't think at the moment.

Again, I must point out that the main rule of the drinking game is to drink when you see a question that's been posted over and over.
This can be anyone of any religion (or non).
Fellow atheists....do not discriminate!
Edit:
Sorry...I forgot to *Drink*!
