“There’s a funny gag on the Simpsons where Ed Begley Jr is droning a little go-cart-like contraption with a helmet on his head and he says, “I’m driving a car fully powered by my smug sense of self satisfaction”.It is hilarious. Your comment for someone reason reminded me of that.”

-Well, I'm happy for you, that you find meaningful substance in a teenage cartoon.
Perhaps you should research the creator of the Simpson's (Matt Groenings) religious views. Newsflash: Groening doesn't believe in a God.

1: Would the world be better off if a billion Muslims were all non-believers in any god, or as fervent believers in their Allah?
Your answer: ”Probably better as Muslim believers.”

-so a belief in a blood thirsty pirate cult, is in your mind, better than *no belief* in any god... and now I have a glimpse into your mindset. As long as someone still believes in some sort of god, no matter how bloodthirsty and violent that belief system is, its better than an absence of a *belief system*, no matter how peaceful. That's quite a mindset you have.

That’s an inane question. It would depend on many factors and would be something that could only be evaluated on an individual basis.

Your foray into the many *shades of gray* are duly noted.

I didn’t say that, nor was that your question.

You are incapable of maintaining a rational train or thought, or of knowing basic facts.

This is why I asked if you were in Junior High.

Atheists have belief systems.

Again, you don’t make sense.
