From carm.org, questions by Matt Slick. Warning - this guy is a total fuckwit. Seriously, avoid the site. He's a homophobic idiot whose reasoning skills are far smaller than his truly titanic ego.

How would you define atheism? 

As having the position of not believing in claims that a god exists

Do you act according to what you believe (there is no God) in or what you don't believe in (lack belief in
God)? 

False dilemma. My stance on the existence or not of god doesn't drive my actions. My stance on
other issues, such as people trying to force religion on me, does.

Do you think it is inconsistent for someone who "lacks belief" in God to work against God's existence by attempting to show that God doesn't exist? 

Nobody is trying to show God doesn't exist. What we are trying to show is that there are no good reasons to believe in one. Different things

How sure are you that your atheism properly represents reality? 

Reasonably sure.

How sure are you that your atheism is correct? 

Atheism is only taking the position that you do not believe a god exists, not that you believe that no god exists. We're disbelieving your claim, not making one of our own. 

How would you define what truth is? 

Truth is that which is based on, grounded in, and reflected by that which we perceive to be real. No, you don't perceive your god to be real. That would take EVIDENCE, something you seem not to understand.
Why do you believe your atheism is a justifiable position to hold? Because theism is unjustifiable. Easy.

Are you a materialist, or a physicalist, or what?

Physicalist.

Do you affirm or deny that atheism is a worldview? Why or why not? 

Atheism is not a worldview because it is only a rejection of a specific category of claims - that gods exist. Is the non-belief in pixies a worldview?

Not all atheists are antagonistic to Christianity, but for those of you who are, why the antagonism? 

Because you try and shove your stupid religion down our throats, make laws based upon it, and practice discrimination against social groups with no moral standing whatsoever.

If you were at one time a believer in the Christian God, what caused you to deny his existence? 

I never was, but I can tell you why I deny his existence. Because the christian god, as defined, CANNOT exist. It's a logical impossibility. No all caring god would create hell, for a start. I've got more, but I'm only going to type this for so long.

Do you believe the world would be better off without religion? 

Yes.

Do you believe the world would be better off without Christianity? 

Yes.

Do you believe that faith in a God or gods is a mental disorder? 

No, but I believe it's unjustified.

Must God be known through the scientific method? 

To be proven to exist, yes. The bible is not good enough, personal experience is not good enough, arguments based in their entirety on a single logical fallacy are not good enough. We need proof.

If you answered yes to the previous question, then how do you avoid a category mistake by requiring material evidence for an immaterial God? 

If he's immaterial, then he can't interact with reality. If he can't interact with reality he doesn't exist. QED

Do we have any purpose as human beings?
Nope. Not inherently.

If we do have purpose, can you as an atheist please explain how that purpose is determined?

We can choose our own purpose. That is what makes life worth living.

Where does morality come from?

Our minds.

Are there moral absolutes?

Nope.

If there are moral absolutes, could you list a few of them?

See above.

Do you believe there is such a thing as evil? If so, what is it?

Not in the metaphysical sense, but there are actions that I find to be abhorrent, which I judge to fall into a category that I name evil.

If you believe that the God of the Old Testament is morally bad, by what standard do you judge that he is bad?

By the standards of my own conscience. I just don't think that genocide, child murder, rape in marriage, and slavery are things that are morally good.

What would it take for you to believe in God?

Demonstrable, testable, repeatable, verifiable evidence of an event that could not possibly be explained any other way than a creator deity.

What would constitute sufficient evidence for God’s existence?

Demonstrable, testable, repeatable, verifiable evidence of an event that could not possibly be explained any other way than a creator deity.

Must this evidence be rationally based, archaeological, testable in a lab, etc. or what?
Present it and then we'll see.

Do you think that a society that is run by Christians or atheists would be safer? Why?

I think that issue is too complex to answer either way.

Do you believe in free will? (free will being the ability to make choices without coersion [sic]).

I believe in the perception of free will. The future is not determined (see quantum mechanics), therefore we perceive the outcome as being a result of free will. Whether or not we truly have free will is, in my view, not yet determined, and possibly unknowable.

If you believe in free will do you see any problem with defending the idea that the physical brain, which is limited and subject to the neuro-chemical laws of the brain, can still produce free will choices?

I don't take a position on the existence or not of free will.

If you affirm evolution and that the universe will continue to expand forever, then do you think it is probable that given enough time, brains would evolve to the point of exceeding mere physical limitations and become free of the physical and temporal, and thereby become "deity" and not be restricted by space and time? If not, why not?
Why would a physical thing randomly stop obeying physical laws? Even ignoring that, something that does not exist in space or time cannot be said to exist at all!

If you answered the previous question in the affirmative, then aren't you saying that it is probable that some sort of God exists?

We're done here. Moron.
