reps-with-love asked: "Thank god I'm atheist". The whole "thank god..." thing is almost built into us, people say it without even realizing or acknowledging what they're saying. I've heard many many many atheists say "thank god for..." without even realizing it, does this happen to you? Does it bother you when atheists use that phrase? What's a good alternative to it...

Anonymous asked: Hello, Hateful Atheist. I have a question. My dad is an agnostic. His main problem is understanding how humans came to be. He doesn't think that some entity went ZAP and humans were formed, but he also doesn't think evolution is logical. How can I get him to pick a side? I'm thinking of e-mailing him websites and debates concerning both sides. How would this work?

lipstickisforlovers asked: I love your blog alot, I'm 17 and an atheist and I have some religious friends and I was wondering, since I love your responses would you tell me what to say if they ask something along the lines of "you can't prove that evolution is true just like religion so how do you know?" and its a ridiculous argument but i am having trouble wording a response. Thank you so much!

Anonymous asked: Man, it's really too bad you're not a "loving atheist". Hatred is a sad thing. I feel sorry for you, as no person should harbor such strong hatred (although many do, of course)... it's a waste of life! I understand the reasons for your discontents and anger, but it is my sincere hope that you open your heart to inner peace and compassion, rather than bitterness and rage.
