@alwaysstranger I don't know if the country is mostly atheist, but there are a lot of different religions and beliefs represented here... So it's probably more accurate to say that there isn't a dominant majority of one belief or another. My Grandfather was a Christian reverend but supported my beliefs too. I imagine France would be quite a melting pot!

RE: would you rather
I'd go to the dinner naked, at least then I won't have my belt digging in to me if I eat too much! :D

RE: what will happen if i die?
@mercury-m Indeed, lets say that you're already someone else who has been born again... what do you remember from before?
-
RE: what will happen if i die?
I don't think you'll be born again. I also think it's dangerous to think you'll get "another go" later, because that might influence you to make dangerous decisions in your life. You might be right, and I could be wrong, but there is no way I'd make that gamble.

Be a drunk tattoo artist...the period of suffering is much shorter, and made easier by the drink ;)

Die in a mosh pit... hopefully I'll be so hyped up I barely notice what's happening.

RE: what do guys look in a girl?
Variation. We're looking for what's different and special. Or just an awesome flirt! ;)

As an Atheist, the question is how, not who.

RE: Why is Greenland called Greenland, when it's white and covered with ice?
I heard it was simply advertising, to help sell the idea of the new land to the people they hoped would colonise it. Can't remember where I heard that though

RE: If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?
We didn't evolve from monkeys and apes, that's a misconception. We had "common ancestors", beings that diversified and grew into different species. We can see animals changing now, with elephants with no tusks surviving poachers. more are now being born without any as an example.
Apes (including humans) and monkeys had common ancestors that lived about 30 million years ago. That ancestor didn't magically turn into monkeys and apes, the would have been small differences that sent different subsets of the population in different directions. Sometimes the difference is advantageous and begins to be represented more often.
To use this example on the elephants, it is likely in the future elephants without tusks will start outnumbering elephants with tusks. It could be the start of a new species happening right before our eyes. It is these little differences happening over millions of years that make the seemingly impossible changes we observe now.
Our closest relative is the chimpanzee. This does not mean we evolved from chimpanzees. It would have been a small change happened to the animal that came before us that sent us into different directions, such as potentially spending more time on the ground than amongst trees. Natural genetic variations that were advantageous to this new lifestyle would come to dominate the group spending more time on the ground, while the group still living in the trees would slowly develop traits that favour that lifestyle.
So when we split off, we were very similar. You probably would not have been able to tell them apart. It's taken 13 million years for us to look as different as we do now, and even then we look pretty similar!
