If the answers to prayer are merely what God wills all along, then why pray?

Truth does not demand belief.

Most Christians are afraid that people will think for themselves; most atheists are afraid that they won’t.

Asking, ‘If there is no God, what is the purpose of life?’ is like asking, ‘If there is no master, whose slave will I be?’ If your purpose of life is to submit as a slave, then your meaning comes from flattering the ego of a person whom you should detest.

To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance.

Theology is a subject without an object

Isn't atheism just another religion?' No, it isn't. Atheism has no creeds, rituals, holy book, absolute moral code, origin myth, sacred spaces or shrines. It has no sin, divine judgment, forbidden words, prayer, worship, prophecy, group privileges, or anointed 'holy' leaders. Atheists don't believe in a transcendent world or supernatural afterlife. Most important, there is no orthodoxy in atheism.
