Based upon the response to discussion of the topic “Atheists: Question 1” I post the following questions:
Q2:
Does the atheist believe in the future existence of self and of the universe?
Q3:
If the answer to Q2 is “NO” then:
How can devote self to the future that, do not believe in, as the real human life?
Q4:
If the answer to the Q2 is “YES” then:
What is the reasonably satisfactory basis for belief in the future existence of self and of the universe?

For how long are you, or anyone else that you know, qualified to vouch for the future existence of yourself and of the universe?

http://www.freeratio.org/showthread.php?p=7588179#post758817I can't vouch for the future at all and I don't know anybody who can.

So what?
