21. According to religions, God destroys everything that he creates; then why can’t he be prosecuted?
No court can excuse a father killing his son. But God kills all his children irrespective of their belief. Then why did some people pray to him instead of shooting him at first sight?
22. If Pop was hanged on Wednesday for some reason, will we call it a Good Wednesday? And the rope used as Holy?
23. How can we justify God punishing children for their forefather’s mistake? Adam and Eve made a crime but….?
God is punishing the children of Adam and Eve. Jesus sacrificed himself for saving us. But even after that, God is punishing us. All these things appears nonsense to me. What about you?
24. One can see the Sun when he/she looks in the sky. Is it necessary to join in any religion to see the Sun?
If we eat, our hunger will be stopped. We don’t want to pray for it separately. If we keep our mind calm in meditation, we will have peace. Then why should one pray for such natural or spiritual achievements? Why should one need a religion for such gains? Why should one need God?
25. Sankara in his Advaida said, Brahman is real and Jagat (Universe) is imaginary. But Jagat still exists. How?
Sankaracharya is no more, but this Universe remains here. So what was imaginary, Universe or Sankara’s Words? This basic principle of Advaida (Jagat mitya) has been questioned by Brahmananda Sivayogi. If somebody having the answer may please respond.
26. Can an illiterate become a Doctor if he joins in your Religion?
My friend is an illiterate. He is 50 years old. He wants to help the poor patients and so he wish to be a doctor. Since I am an atheist, I can’t promise him. I heard some Gods can do miracles. Can you help him please?
27. If God can forgive you, help you, save you or curse you; God could have a brain and mind. Ever think of that?
Brain and mind needs a body also. Body needs air, water and food to live. That implies such things were existed at the beginning itself. So, who was the Creator of air, water and food according to your belief? If you got my point, please respond
28. Usually I save ants sinking in water without a request or pray. But God never saves innocents in crisis, why?
Kind hearted people will save ants, birds etc. in danger without accepting any fees from them or without waiting for their prayer. Religions say God is kind hearted. Even after years of pray and even after spending a good amount; endless pain and sufferings remain in the world. Nobody comes to save the orphan, innocent creatures. Tell me who is kind hearted, me or God?
29. If Theists can spread non logic and ignorance; then why Atheists not to spread logic and knowledge?
Theists are working hard to spread ignorance in the world. They are acting smart. Then why can’t we spread logical things for the benefit of the world?
30. Why God is not strong enough to prevent theft atleast in Churches, Mosques, Temples etc.?
An ant or a bee can do a little to prevent enemies attacking them. God can atleast stop the thief from running outside the temple such that the police people can caught him easily! Shall we assume that God has no strength that of an ant or a bee?

Public discussion with residents of Lakeland, Florida, and others who came on Monday, 11/23, to voice their concerns or questions related to the billboard ad placed by Atheists of Florida on November first
11. Is it not a mistake of Creator not placing devotional interest in the minds of creations like sexual interest?
This question has been put forward by a Saint to make us think on the subject and so please answer it seriously.
All people are attracted towards the opposite sex without any compulsion from parents or priests, without going to any coaching classes, without a pray in Churches/ Mosques/ Temples, that we know. If all were blessed with such a strong interest in devotion also, what were wrong?
12. Do you think that chanting God’s names will give you benefit? Please tell me how it works?
In every Religion, we see chanting OR holy bath OR pilgrimage OR fasting as a custom. But we know frogs are also chanting something. What is the difference? The people living nearby holy river Ganga take bath everyday in it. Are they benefited? We see people die in accidents while they attend pilgrimage. We see beggars fasting almost every day. Are they also be benefited?
13. Life is not Christian, not Muslim, not Hindu. Body also has no religions, then why do we fight for religion?
God has not given anything special physically to identify a Christian from a Hindu or a Muslim from a Buddhist. He was able to do that if he desires so. He has given a trunk to the Elephant, wings to the birds etc. to differentiate them from other species. But see people all over the world quarrelling each other claiming that their religion is good and other religions are small. What nonsense? (more…)

In Richard Dawkins Book “The God Delusion” , the author shows a scale from 1 to 7 on which we can rank our certainty [or lack there-of] of god’s existence.
Strong Theist. 100% probability of God. In the words of C. G. Jung, – ‘I do not believe, I know.’
Very High probability but short of 100%. De facto theist. – ‘I cannot know for certain, but I strongly believe in God and live my life on the assumption that he is there.’
Higher than 50% but not very high. Technically agnostic but leaning toward theism. ‘I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God.’ (more…)
1. We select everything by checking them good or bad. But why did we select Religion without a check?
2. Is God having a necessity for the creation?
Creation starts when necessity arises. But God is Almighty, religion says. He has no necessity for anything. Then why did he create the Universe? Is he Mad? Or is he a fool?
3. Why should we pray to God?
How much long we pray, God will never come and take us to the other side. It is our duty to walk and reach the other side. God will never come and brush our teeth. It is also our duty to clean our teeth and mind. Then why should one pray? (more…)
