FAQ

These are actual questions that I keep getting asked.  Some have been re-worded to represent the most common and concise form.  This page will be updated as needed.

What the fuck is your problem?
For starters, you.

Where/why are you hiding?  I want to beat the shit out of you.
No one is hiding.  I'm just not stupid enough to post my real name, home address, and phone number on a website that draws death threats.  However, I'm well-known in the online atheist community and everyone knows who I am and where I live.  If you're ever in Los Angeles and would like to meet for a cup of coffee and discuss your road to recovery, or perhaps you'd like to try to beat the living shit out of me, just send me an email and I'll be happy to meet up with you at a place of my choosing.  Hopefully you're not dumb enough to take a preemptive swipe at someone who's a three-time cancer survivor and an atheist.  Extrapolate a little tough guy.  You're not the first to threaten me.

How old are you?
Way old enough to buy booze and way too young to collect social security.

What do you do for a living?
I'd rather not go into the specifics of it, but I'm a college-educated corporate guy.

Why are you so angry?
I'm really not.  That's just the way it appears -- but only because it's easier for you to see me that way.  As for the "angry" (if you want to call it that) tone of the site, it's just my shtick to make a point, offend those who have offended, and entertain those who haven't.  Do I ever get angry?  Of course, just like everyone else.

Do you think you're better/smarter than Christians?
No.  (Read this section for clarification.)

[Why] Do you hate Christians?
I don't hate Christians.  Never have.  I hate some of the things they believe, but I don't hate the individuals.  What I hate is profound human stupidity and when unsolicited religious rhetoric is shoved in my face especially after I've made it clear that I'm not interested in hearing it.

[Why] Do you hate God/Jesus?
I don't hate god or Jesus because neither one exists.  But even as imaginary beings or concepts, I don't hate them.  However, I do hate the horrific things that people do (and have done) in their name.  My guess is that you do too.

Did you ever believe in god?
No, but when I was a kid I went through the motions because that's what kids do.  I went to Hebrew school and had a Bar Mitzvah but never bought into the concept of god.  I officially declared myself an atheist around the age of 14.

How come you don't believe in anything?
This question has already been answered on the Atheism 101 page.  Click here to read it.

If you don't believe in god, then what happens to you when you die?
Same as you: absolutely nothing.

Why do you say you're Jewish if you claim to be an atheist?
I never really said that I was Jewish.  All I said was that I was raised in a Jewish family.  But when it comes to religious beliefs, I reject all notions of god and that makes me an atheist.  Period.  And not only do I not believe in a god, I say that no god or gods exist -- not now, not ever.  As for "being" Jewish, well, that's a bit tricky.  My mother is Jewish (so is my dad) and that makes me Jewish by birth whether I like It or not.  It's not like I can undo it.  I also love and embrace the Jewish culture, but that doesn't make me a theist either.  (If I loved and embraced the Chinese culture would that make me Chinese?)

What religion are your parents?
Mom and dad are Jewish by birth but both openly admit that they don't believe in god.  My siblings are also atheists.

Does this website get you laid?
Yes.  (Okay, that's not really a frequently asked question.  I just felt like bragging.)

Why don't you go fuck yourself?
Can't.  My pecker's too short.
