WOTMQ: Fact Based Reason
Atheism has nothing to say about anything other than the question of God's existence. But it can limit the possible justifications one might have for doing something truly awful.

Here's a stupid question: If you believed there was a god, but it died, are you an atheist because you don't currently believe in a god because it's dead?
It’s kinda the same question presented by Deism. Okay, so God started everything off, but is now, for all intents and purposes gone? Then why should I care?
I like how Prager has a line on his chart for "Immeasureable"
A lot of people like that! LOL!
Y'know… I think my atheism does tell me something about more than Gawd's existence… like tooth fairies, leprechauns, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus. When the Enlightenment first arose, I remember how the Mexican scholar Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora got into a huge public debate in 1682 with a famous jesuit, Eusebio Francisco Kino, about Halley's comet. Kino defended the Catholic dogma that the comet was composed of souls who were suffering, blocked from entering purgatory. Sigüenza y Góngora argued that the comet was merely an object of ice and gases flying through space. Guess who won the debate? Pffft.
All the sky dudes are equally valid, in that they're all figments of somebody's imagination.
