As an atheist I figured I have some fun and reply to some of those questions.

1.The simple answer is, I don’t know.

2.Why would I want to hang around those people?

3.I do love talking about history which also means that I know one group of people killing another over religion was pretty common. And I never understood why a lot of conservatives think being an atheist makes someone a collectivist. That’s like saying being a Christian makes you like Marmite, doesn’t make any sense. (nor anyone liking that c*&p)

4.Yeah, same thing goes for moral relativity.

5.I can talk with a much deeper Southern accent then he ever could!

6.Have fun!

7.How many of you have read Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica? What, no one? You don’t believe in gravity or something? Just because someone came up with an idea doesn’t make them the most knowledgeable on the subject for all time. And should I quote the bible about all the murder and pillaging going on there?

8.Agreed, it’s all Keynes fault. As for him being an atheist, that’s a classic Ad hominem attack if there ever was one.

9.So who gives a damn about Nietzsche except some hippies…and everyone hates hippies.

10.Hey, I keep my gun in my SUV

I don't know where I got this ... I'm sure I didn't originate it ... but my favorite topic when confronting an atheist is the following.

Ask them to think about the total sum of universal knowledge ... the sum total of everything that is knowable. Then ask them what percent of that total knowledge do they possess.

Even the most arrogant atheist can be slapped silly by making them recite the atomic number of Fermium, or the most efficient way to solve the Magnetic Field Integral Equations, etc.

At this point, the reasonable ones would be willing to admit that they possess less than 1% of all that is knowable (which in itself is a gross exaggeration).

At that point your question is simply "why do you assume that God cannot be part of the 99% that you admit you do not know?"

This is stupid. Most of the points aren’t even about atheism. They confuse atheism with liberalism. Number 4 for example.

Atheists practice a form of religion. The points of atheists must be defended, and they are organized to a certain extent. They make an argument based on only what they can see and touch, and will not take a thing on faith.

I do not believe that you can change the mind of a self-proclaimed atheist, anymore than I believe that I can teach my cat to speak German.
