Why am I alive? What do you mean by why? I am alive because my parents had sex.

Whats the point of life? There is no point of life except the point you personally give it.

What happens after death? I assume the same as before birth, which is nothing as far as I can remember, but I dont know. Not knowing is an option by the way. Dont try to explain stuff with other unexplained stuff.

Big Bang catalyst? I dont know. what is gods catalyst?

Morality is an easily explainable natural survival concept. Nothing strange about it.

You just ask questions you cant explain and insert something you also cant explain, which is god. I dont know why that should be a useful method.


All one dimensional answers. You're like Sheldon from the big bang theory, when someone asks him some nuanced question he can only interpret it literalistically. It's a very sad existence that the only answer you can muster is i exist because my parents had sex.

The "why are we here" question is a trap for people who mistake vagueness for depth.

If you want better answer ask a better question.

People like you or him are content with existing as a result of some biological phenomena and nothing else. Some of us are not content with such simplistic meanings of life. I gave you the reason why billions of people believe in God whether it's Christianity, Islam, whatever else, the fundamental questions are the same.

No one is trying to entrap you, it doesn't matter to a believer what you or other atheists believe.

Daniel is Old Testament, not new, so it was written before Jesus Christ manifested.


Thx for clarifying. So I just did some research as I am no expert on the topic. You are free to correct me, but what I found out is that Jesus was never mentioned by his name in the old testament. Since the old testament was written quite a while before Jesus, he or anyone else could easily refer to himself as the guy from that book...A prophecy would have to be A LOT more specific of course.

The only meaning of life is the meaning you add to it for yourself.

Doesn't matter what we're content with.

That's twice you've invented a position for me. I suspect it's because atheism makes you very uncomfortable so you do your best to avoid engaging honestly with it.

It's not, and since you're big on evidence, there are billions of people that have answered it differently.

Agnosticism I understand, atheism is kind of a joke though. For people that constantly try to talk down to believers it's immensely hilarious how faithful they are to a dogma they can never prove. What's there to be uncomfortable about lol? I've spent enough years at university to be around it consistently.

If you are using the definition of atheism that it means you're certain god doesn't exist then literally nobody, not even Dawkins or Hitchens, are atheists.
