I ask you--what happens to you after you die?

Dunno

That answer marks you as an agnostic, not an atheist. The proper atheist answer is "worm-food".

Will we ever find a means to travel faster than the speed of light?

Through the grace of God, we will. I have Faith that we will, anyway. :-)

Notice: a question regarding a matter of belief, with no reference to deities included or implied.

The point being?

For starters: is it *your* Honda Civic?

So morality is predicated on possession? What unwritten rule says that one conglomeration of proteins and chemicals (a human) is capable of "possessing" something, while another (a Honda Civic) isn't?

Six of one, half-dozen of the other. A distinction without a difference, technically. Not that it stops people from attributing extra-definitional attributes to these two words...

Incorrect. tehre is no one proper atheist answer to that. To many it woudl be as you say. Other atheists might well believe in an afterlife or re-incarnation... just no gods involved.

> The point being?

The pint being: a flat satement that an atheist won;t ahve anything to say when asked what he/she beleives, or that an atheists believes *nothing*, is silly. Atheism only deals with the question of God. Many atheists believe in rather a lot of things. Just not gods, by definition.

You would deny this? Is it ok if you want to, say, mash your TV? Is it ok if some total stranger does with without your permission? Is it even *possible* for you to steal your own TV from you?
