Good video though I wont be bothered by being asked questions, even if those questions are in bad faith. Even if the answer to the question is I don't know I still wouldn't mind being asked the question.
As long as your ideology identifies the main source of the world's ills as a definable group, it opens the world up to genocide. -Steven Pinker.

Well, I have to admit I relish being asked stupid questions, because it provides such a nice opportunity to make the asker look like an idiot when I explain all the unfounded assumptions built into their question.

I cant help thinking of you behind a desk in a shoping-mall with a sign behind you reading 'ASK AN ATHIEST'

One question that I get a lot is "Do you REALLY think that something as incredibly complex as a human being arose purely by chance?"
That credulity should be gross in proportion to the ignorance of the mind that it enslaves, is in strict consistency with the principle of human nature. - Percy Bysshe Shelley

I always hate when they ask me to have a white wine with my well cooked baby, every atheist knows that red wine goes best with the kind of baby sauces we use.
