[For Ask An Atheist Day], my atheist and non-atheist friends asked me stuff in jest and in turn I make silly replies. However, one friend did ask honest questions last night and I exposed her to a boat-load of critical thinking stuff...She asked if I had been brought up religious, then, how I changed my mind, if my wife is the same as me (no, she's Catholic) and if God was our witness at our marriage. I got to say, "Well, if God is omnipresent, he had to have been a witness, right?" [...] It was a productive conversation in that we were both civil and I tried not to bog her down into the deeper philosophical arguments we are often exposed to.

[For Ask An Atheist Day],I answered about 5 or 6 really great questions, and all were respectful except one guy who kept pressing and claiming that atheists were all hurtful and egotistical know-it-alls that hate everyone else. The post was readable only to my non-atheist friends, which made sure there wasn't any snark.

What kind of wine did Jesus turn the water into? White? Red? Could he change the alcohol content?
