Ask an Atheist? What?

At my institution of higher education, we have an ardent, zealous, and very studious appearing student group with the unusual monicker, "Ask and Atheist".

This calls for (NOT begs) the question, Ask an atheist?  What?  Or perhaps, Ask an Atheist? Why?

Now i don't want to seem a bigot, or atheismist (e.g. racist, sexist), but what would I ask, or why?  In fact, what would be the point?

Get my drift?

Atheists claim to KNOW that there is no (a) G^d (Theos).  It logically follows then, that an atheist believes that there is no purpose, no point, no "reason" for life or for us.  To be consistent, we were not created (no Creator), we are here by statistical chance alone, as a product of random mutations.  Consequently, there is nothing of substance/value (existential nihilism) to be known.  So why ask, and what would we ask?  It's not that atheists are stupid, it's not that they don't know some things, it's just, based on their own philosophy, there is nothing really worth knowing.

Go figure.

"The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good."   Ps 14:1

  1. I just did a big old comment and it went away. Probably some dang atheist erased it.
