  1. Some religious believers accuse atheists of having nothing left to believe in but a dull, cold, sterile, scientific world. OK, as far as I can see, I am left with nothing but:
    art,
    music,
    literature,
    theatre,
    the magnificence of nature,
    the precision of mathematics,
    the human spirit,
    sex,
    the cosmos,
    friendship,
    human history,
    poetry,
    science,
    imagination,
    dreams,
    oceans,
    mountains,
    love,
    humour,
    intellectual honesty, and
    the wonders of birth.
    There are probably many more we could add to that list: any suggestions?

  6. Seriously , running naked through a field of daffodils, trailing a 10ft purple silk scarf with the wind in your hair and a cigar clenched between your teeth and the winning lottery ticket locked safely in the glove box of your car.

  9. I don't believe in Australia, it's made up. Like Narnia and Belgium.

  10. Why do people have to 'believe' in something at all?

    Seems to me it's a waste of time and brain cells.

  11. It's not truly possible to be sure anything exists, therefore it's all a matter of faith
