Ask an Atheist Day
Today was “National Ask an Atheist Day.” I think this is a good idea. Atheists sit for hours and ask me dozens of questions, so since this is their day, I thought of some questions to ask them.
- How could Nobody + Nothing = Everything?
- Where did life come from? Do you honestly believe that non-living matter could produce life?
- Do you believe Chaos + Time = Order?
- Why do human beings universally believe in some sort of god and an afterlife?
- Do you believe in moral absolutes? If yes, where did they come from? If no, why was Hitler wrong?
- Why do all humans seek to love and be loved — especially when true love is often so self-sacrificial?
- Why does it bother you when you see another person — say some starving kid in Africa that you will never know — suffering or being oppressed?
- Where did the laws of mathematics and science come from?
- Does it bother you at all that the worst atrocities in history have been committed by atheists?
- What would you accept to be legitimate evidence for the existence of God? What type of “proof” are you looking for?
- If you were to conclude there is a God and Jesus Christ is, in fact, the Son of God, how would your life need to change?
- Have you ever personally sought for God and, if so, how did you do it?
- In the past, in what ways do you believe God hurt you or failed you?
- Can you name a person who is more admirable and worth emulating than Jesus Christ?
- What do you believe to be your purpose in life?
- What do you think about when you gaze up into the starry night or stand by the ocean and watch the waves come in?
- What do you think happened to the body of Jesus?
- Why do you think so few people agree with you?
- How well do you know and get along with your earthly father? Would your father say that you respect him?
- Does the number of famous atheists who died in despair and hopeless concern you? What is it like for you to live with no ultimate hope?
- When was the last time you personally read the New Testament with an open mind — and, more importantly, with an open heart?
- If there is a hell, do you think you will go there?
- If there is a heaven where God reigns and is worshipped, would you want to go there?
- If you are wrong, would you want to know it?
