and if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
and isn't it safer to live as if Jesus does exist than deny him and risk eternal torture?
Ha!
Nobody has ever asked these questions before. I'm so smart!!

I don't think you understand the evolution theory very well :) otherwise you wouldn't ask these so called 'smart' answers ;p Go to the wikipedia page on evolution and you'll find answers and much more.
Why I don't believe in Jesus as a God? I tried to, but nobody could convince me... The same way that nobody can be convinced that there is a giant spaghetti monster that created mankind and rules after human life over the good and the bad... It's just a bunch of crap, that's why I don't believe ;)
And the more you learn, the more you'll descover that you're not smart...

I hope you are being sarcastic. I have answered two of those questions in the last five minutes alone, and the other I have answered at least four times in the past week.
For your first question, one can be spiritual without being religious. Second, we did not come from monkeys. Modern primates and us came from a common ancestor. Third, what you are referring to is known as Pascal's Wager. He said that it would be safer to believe in God to avoid the slight risk of going to hell. The real question is, which god should we believe in? You should also ask yourself this question: Why do you not accept Thoth into your heart? The answer is the same. Actually, I confident enough in my beliefs that this question offends my intelligence.

Why would monkeys not be here because we evolved?
Why would I live as someone else and pretend that Jesus exists? What, Jesus isn't going to know I'm faking it? Haha. Wow. I would rather burn in eternal damnation that live as someone I am not.
I hope you are just joking.

You cant exclude a certain religion from R&S just because you don't agree with them. Like or not Atheism is still classified as a religion so they can answer in religion or spirtuality if they want to. Life is all about tolerance of different people. Learn it now, or live life being annoyed.

Cause they like to mess with you! lol plain and simple.... In my experience debating the whole "does god exist thing" I've leaned that those who have lived their life according to the word of god, incorporate their religion into there everyday lives (Biblical values, morals, congregation, blind faith, and the way you raise your children). Religious people tend to get super annoyed when someone challenges their beliefs because the challenger not only challenges the existence of god, but they challenge the way you choose to live your life entirely. In turn, this makes for heated debate! It's somewhat appealing to get a rise out of people of "strong religious conviction"
Seriously, why do you tend to get so angry, if your faith is so solid? I myself am semi-religious. I believe in small parts of Christianity, but I am open to other people’s ideas. I do not congregate, I do NOT brainwash my children... I share my beliefs with them and allow them to pursue religion by there own free will, just as I believe god did for us. I try to stay away from the religious sections because my posts always get deleted... lol

Same reason I gave when a hunter asked why there were people who are against hunting asking questions in the hunting section- There against hunting so what better place to voice their opinion in a place filled with hunters... Same answer for you. BTW people have asked these questions before, many MANY times. But hey, I'm on your side.

Bottoms up, Baby! LOL
Honored Samarai, you are indeed smart, but may I humbly state that the word "atheist" is usually spelled "athiest" by those who repeatedly ask this question.

I never thought of those things before. I am a believer now. Do you have a few minutes so I can tell you the joy of having Jesus in your life?
