The most important thing to remember is that just because we dont have an answer for something, that doesnt give us reason or evidence to believe it could have been a god. That seems to be the main thought process of a typical believer in god. If we dont have an answer to something, it needs to be researched and speculated, its not a reason to believe that some god did it.

do you believe in an afterlife?
Theres absolutely no way to prove that there is. Having said that, I cant be absolutley sure that there isn't. Its nice to think that there is, but I cant believe in something with no way of knowing whether or not its true. Having said that, noone can be absolutley certain of anything. When it comes to god and religion, I don't feel the claims about the existence of god have met their burden of proof. In fact, there is copious amounts of evidence contrary to those beliefs.

If religion didn't exist how would you feel about your life being almost insignificant?
Woah, who said religion is required to make a life significant? Isn't it enough to appreciate the fact that you're alive? Are you saying my life is insignificant because I dont have any religious beliefs? If you think religion is the reason that you should be alive, then I think you need to sit back and evaluate whats really important about living.


How do you deal with the fact you could die at any moment, and in fifty years no one would even remember your name?
Chop wood, Carry water.
