What is your greatest fear? Why does it scare you so much? Is it an irrational fear?
Are you doing anything different to celebrate the rapture?
You’re driving down the road and, in a moment of inattention, you run a red light. In one universe a cop pulls you over and gives you a ticket. In another universe you hit a little old lady and kill her. In the first universe you’re just an ordinary motorist. In the second you’re a shameful monster. But you had no control over the presence of the little old lady; the same (small) list of controllable actions were available to you in both universes. If our moral responsibility extends only to our voluntary actions, then in both universes your only transgression lies in running the red light. Why then do we assign additional blame for hitting the lady, an outcome over which you had no control?
Why does the truth matter anyways? Some people believe in god because it comforts them, not because of proof. Why does it matter whether or not there is a god? Why does the truth matter? Or why does proof of it matter? What harm does it do to us for them to believe whatever they want to believe?

Ignorance is everything that I am and everything that I feel I have. I have absolutely no way of knowing whether or not I even exist in the form that I see myself today, let alone knowing anything beyond it, and this fact can drive one mad.
Questions in and of themselves are great to have, however. After all we have to make assumptions about our existence and based on these assumptions we must live our lives. So, hopefully our assumptions are correct and our skepticism and constant questioning can go on to a better understanding of the world that we at least perceive, but then you get into the question of why.
Why do we continue to ask questions and pursue a greater knowledge of the world that we think exists whenever we think that the world that exists lacks any form of afterlife. If we don’t reap the benefits who will? Our children? Their children? Well, eventually they’re all going to die out anyways, right? The human race is so unlikely to survive forever, and science even says that there will come a time whenever life can no longer survive as it does today: what then?
If Jesus came to forgive us of all original sin then why is child bearing still so painful?
I’ve asked this question before but I didn’t feel that the responses were quit what I was looking for. So, here it goes again.
Understanding that atheism is not a religious preference - just as theism isn’t a religious preference - what religion would you say you most subscribe to? Note: Not all religions are theistic in nature. In fact there are plenty of atheistic religions out there such as Buddhism, Humanism, Taoism, etc.
If you would prefer to mark none then explain why you do not subscribe to any of the existing religions. Is it because you don’t know enough about them to chose one?
If the summation of your past creates the person you are now then would it be safe to say that if someone where to hate their past, or their childhood, they are simply hating who they’ve become as a result of their past?

What are your views on sex and relationships? Should people be married, or at least in a serious relationship, before participating in sexual acts? What rules should apply to sexual relations? Is there such a thing as having too many sexual partners?
Before deciding where you stand please read the commentary here, and if you decide to take the position that there should be restraints to your level of sexual participation answer this: what about sex makes it something that should be regulated? Keep in mind, also, that this question is separate from keeping sex safe.
Do we really want to coexist, or are we looking to overthrow all other religions?
