If you don't believe in anything, you have nothing to talk about.
lol Really? I wouldn't know as I have always believed in something. For instance, I believe people that have faith in "higher powers" feel threatened by folks who have no faith in them (atheists and agnostics). There's no need for it.
As far as I can tell, atheists simply don't believe in gods. That is not to say they don't believe in other things. I think this whole issue of faith and non-faith is quite entertaining. And I think you are as well.
This is why you go on with your life until you do have something to say. It's pretty damn simple.
Actually, some folks just like gabbing for the sake of gabbing, but even this, too, is ok. =)
Atheists seem to come off as morally superior and smug. Doesn't make them appear warm and cuddly.
lol And some religious seem to "come off" as the same. 6 of one and a half doz.....
