Since giving to charity makes one happy, Brooks speculates that this could be one reason why atheists are so miserable. In a 2004 study, twice as many religious people say that they are very happy with their lives, while the secular are twice as likely to say that they feel like failures.Genetic_Code

I suppose the problem with most atheists is that they feel they have no reason to exist and therefore are a detriment to society. This is likely due to social programming, wherein they're instilled with the sense of having to contribute to society. What these people need to learn is to think without conforming to the way general society has taught them to think. They need to learn to think in ways in which they're content doing what they want, not doing what society expects of them.

I would label myself an atheist.

-Are you a naturalist? naturalism is synonymous with materialism and physicalism which state that physical matter is the only reality. This view denies that anythingsupernatural exists.

No

-Do you believe that evolution by natural selection accounts for the diversity of life on earth?

Yes, I indeed do.

-Do you believe that abiogenesis ocurred on earth?

Yessiree.

-How old do you believe the earth is?

Approximately 6 billion years or so.

-Do you believe that morality is absolute or relative?

Relative, of course. It's an empirical truth.

-Do you believe that the universe is deterministic?

Nope. Too orderly for my tastes.

-Do you believe that we have free will?

Yes.

-How would you label yourself in regards to the abortion debate? This debate is often too complicated for labels so feel free to elaborate on your standpoint.

Pro-choice ftw! Babies are teh suck!!1!

-Democratic or Republican? This one won't apply to many people (including myself) so either put not applicable or give us your political views

I consider myself a Republican, but don't follow their mainstream conservative ideology. I'm a libertarian for the most part.

-Do you believe in any conspiracy theories? Biigfoot, aliens at Roswell, 9/11 government conspiracy, faked moon landing etc

I'll probably be mocked for this, but I do believe there is a "Big Foot" animal species. There's sufficient contemporary evidence for such an animal to exist. If you don't believe me, I'm willing to link to sources.

-What do you think of Richard Dawkins?

Not much.

-Cake or Pie? (inb4lies)

Cake.

Would you prefer the creatures to be unconscious during the harvesting? I'm sure there's some sleeping gas somewhere..

1. The absurdity of the very concept itself.

2. The questionable reliability in the Bible.

3. The concept of an omnipotent God cruel enough to watch his creations suffer their whole lives whilst not intervening.

4. The even greater absurdity of the concept that God loves everyone but still sends "sinners" to Hell based on ambiguous morals that aren't even shared across cultural boundaries.

5. The absence of any "miracles" in any historian's records.
