My advice is to get to know this community a bit--we lucky ducks get to ask atheists things all the time. You might even say we are made up of atheists and agnostics!
I suggest YOU ask a question. Have at it!

be prepared to be labeled one of the following:

New Atheist

Angry Atheist

Militant Atheist

Arrogant Atheist

I don't think I've seen "Deluded Atheist" yet, but it's probably just a matter of time. . .



Welcome!

I realized recently that Rabid Atheist seems to have fallen from favor some time while I wasn't paying attention, I haven't heard it in a while.

Evidently insulting mad dogs has now become something of a social faux pas.

You realize that something like half of DU identifies as Atheist, right? By that I mean it is highly unlikely you're the first one people here have encountered.

Just sayin'

how do you atheists explain evolution of the big, goofy foot of the duck when compared to all those other birds having little skinny stick feet? There just has to be a god that created the duck foot.

I'm overwhelmed by your musk. I didn't know atheists had so much self confidence.

Welcome anyway... I think.

BTW... I have no questions. You have not said if you are an atheist an agnostic or not, you said you are An Atheist. Interesting name, An.

I think that's pretty straight forward. You must adhere to Internet Poll Results Rule 36:a-i which calls for a 3-way runoff election using the "even-odd" paradigm exclusion rule. Then, after exactly 17.3 months of voting, a run off of the top two choices will be performed with elections being held on even days of months ending in vowels..


Then the results will be tallied. The lower vote will be multiplied by the year of the original vote and subtracted by the temperature. The higher vote will be divided by seven and multiplied by the shoe size of Grover Cleveland's daughter

Unless, of course, the winner is a religious apologist, at which point winner is a winner even if by 1 vote and losers need to shut the hell up.

1) An Atheist
2) to answer questions of a generic nature seeking general advice regarding ethical dilemmas, general questions, or what to say to your shithead cousin that un-invited you to her wedding last week.
3) African or european?

You are using a Magic Eight Ball to answer all these questions, aren't you?

You just can't trust psychotics.
