Ask an atheist

Post #1

Post by The Corinthian »

So... being new here and all, I guess I'd better make an introductionary thread. However, as these kinds of threads tend to be rather boring, I'm trying a new approach.

I call it: "Ask an atheist".

I usually just spend a lot of time in the atheist communities, where you mostly converse with like-minded people, which can easily make your world view pretty unbalanced. Hence me joining this forum.

So, I'm using my introductionary thread to try to "connect" with you the religious users on this forum.

So, if there ever was anything you ever wanted to ask an atheist? Now is your chance!!!

Feel free to ask me anything. How I became an atheist? Why I became one? What is an atheist's take on platypuses mating rituals? Do I even believe that platypuses are real animals?

Ask away.

(Even feel free to try to convert me if that is your thing. I'm always open to solid arguments, and always give people credit for them, but still, good luck though ;) )

What do you drive?

In a perfect world what would you drive?

Actually, I don't have a drivers license yet (Yes, I am that sad). But in Denmark a driver's license cost around 2000$, and it is one of most expensive countries in the world to buy and hold a car. So I guess I'll wait a little until I really need it.

In a perfect world though, I would drive one of the Dodges from the movie Grindhouse - Deathproof, probably the 1970 Dodge Challenger. Those are some sweet looking cars. 8-)

I was going to ask an atheist this question....

Where does one get $2000 and a car?

Killing babies and kittens is a lucrative business.

If killing babies and kittens is the only way.

Where do I get a bus pass?

Seriously though, Welcome to the forum.

Don't you know that killing babies and kittens is the only profession an atheist can have? :-s I'm not sure about agnostics though, I guess they don't do the kittens.

...Thank you.

Ok, I will bite. Can you logically rationalize the non-existence of God to confirm your foundation as an atheist?

That looks like a good question for a new thread. Would you like to start one?

$2,000 to drive! I thought it sucked here.

Why do you think there have not been any Christians asking you questions, yet?
(I just want to see what the Christians here would ask when the topic is completely open.)
