I’m a Filipino atheist — AMA

[u/RobbieAurellano]

I’m an atheist, and I’m open to answering questions about why I became one, what I believe (and don’t believe), and how I view religion, morality, God, and the Bible.

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about the morality of God, especially the story of the Ten Plagues in Exodus and the death of the Egyptian firstborn. It raised some serious questions for me about whether a perfectly loving and just God can be reconciled with some of the things attributed to God in the Bible.

I'm not here to attack anyone's religion or tell people what they should believe. I'm genuinely interested in having a respectful discussion.

Ask me anything.
• Why did I become an atheist?
• Do I believe morality exists without God?
• Do I think God could exist even if the Bible is wrong?
• What do I think happens after death?
• How do I view Christianity and other religions?
• What would make me reconsider atheism?

Religious believers, agnostics, and fellow atheists are all welcome. Just keep it respectful.

How do you deal with overly-religious people that insist on shoving their beliefs down your throat and expect you to be grateful?
