[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry we believers can not live up to your intellectual standard.

Is anyone in the religious forum wondering the same thing I am? Why are atheists on our threads that discuss religious questions? Are these threads inviting the atheist perspective if the question is about God or afterlife or Heaven? I would think not.   So, why do atheists feel their view here is relevant to the topic??[/quote]
We are here because we are interested in the questions that are being discussed.  Just as the political forum involves both liberals and conservatives, those with all viewpoints want to discuss these issues.

For me, I can give at least two reasons I am interested.  First, that we live our lives surrounded by religion, whether we like it or not, and second, that questions that religions purport to answer, like where the universe came from and why we are here, are interesting whether or not you think the answer is God.

I think I can equally well describe myself as an atheist, an agnostic, or a secular Jew.  But I have friends and acquaintances who are quite religious, and I want to understand how they see the world.  Sometimes it's much easier to get an honest view of sensitive issues in an anonymous forum like this rather than face to face.[/quote]
