Shouldn't this be in the Atheism subforum? An 'Ask a Christian' would be in its own subforum as well. You know, consistency.
Personally, I'm not interested in asking any one. I'll gladly search within myself and by my own means, and access the more superior vertical axis rather than the meager horizontal one of the masses.

I think it's just about right. I would assume atheists already know much, and the christianty form? Don't think it'd be productive.
I mean, I really don't care. It's just a forum. But it bears pointing out. Why have separate areas, and then let the specialized topics be in the general location?

Afraid ??
I think Atheism is laughable, when an intelligent person looks around and believes that the entire universe and everything in it, came together all by itself. But hey, we are all free to make our choices - so good for whoever believes in Atheism.
I don't know how everything came into existence. I think it's odd when people claim they do.

Okay. Then we shouldn't have christians posting here, either.
I suspect you would pay more attention to my actions then my words.
And frankly, that's the best way I can truely communicate my faith.
It's the best way you can communicate your character. The role of your faith in that might be debatable. In my observation, character / virtue and religious faith vary independently of each other. The best you could argue is a weak association, but TBH I don't even see that.
How come you only mention the pretty, lovely things?
Quote:
All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom.
He made their horrid wings.
All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.
Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did!
All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.
Amen.
You obviously have no children, or weren't present during their birth. I don't suppose you like to watch a sunrise or sunset over the mountains, or enjoy watching two squirrels at play from your front porch. Maybe nobody has ever come to your need on a very bad day, or supported you through a life changing event. You've never seen a full moon and all the stars on a beautiful night, or made shapes of animals from puffy clouds. Have you watched a newborn elephant stand up for the first time or watched a Daddy give his daughter away at her wedding? A big bang can cause a comotion but it can't form all that.
I have actually experienced all these things (except having children, but my wife is also an atheist and bore two children). I simply don't find god a necessary explanation for them.
It is a common fallacy that atheists are sourpusses and hate life and everything and everyone. That is just a failure of imagination (and sometimes, projection!) on the part of theists. As i write this, my wife and both our dogs are next to me and my stepson is across the room and the sunlight after a storm is filtering in the room and all is well with the world in this moment.
