All of these questions are simple enough to answer.
S1: There isn't one as an "objective" has to be "assigned". To assume there is some objective is to assume some one or some thing assigned one is to assume there is a god of some sort. I make no such assumptions.
S2: This one is just plain stupid. Who says the future of the universe or the human race is guaranteed? In fact, the future of the universe IS guaranteed, but not by a "who". It is guaranteed by the laws of physics, both those we understand and those we do not. No "who" is necessary for the way things work to keep working in the same way.
S3: Of course I can. Even if the idea bothered me, which it does a bit, I admit, me WANTING there to be a guarantee in no way affects the realities of the universe. The universe does not care how I want it to act.
S4: Again, completely stupid. You assume that if you BELIEVE your future is guaranteed then it IS guaranteed. Again I say the universe does not care how you want it to act. It will be the same, regardless what you believe, regardless what you want. Committing to a "guaranteed future" is in no way a guarantee that said future is real. Belief does not equal reality, which is what your argument is suggesting.
S5: It sure isn't. For an intelligence to purposely create something requires intelligence. Pretty obvious there. HOWEVER, although I would have to put a lot of planning and research to create a virus that in no way diminishes the fact that it happens all on its own every day without one bit of planning.
S6: First, Christianity did not eliminate these empires. 10 minutes of history searches will show you that every one of those empires suffered from years of trouble before eventually falling. The Byzantine empire split off the Roman empire, showing it was already in decline. They Egyptian empire was building more than it could afford followed by massive drought that finished them off. The Persian empire had about 5 decades of war with Greece where they were severely trounced in two separate wars which severely weakened them and is generally accepted as being the main cause of the fall of the empire.
Second, are you really telling me that how great your god is can be shown by how many were slaughtered in his name? If that were true then, yes, you win. Nobody has ever been slaughtered in the name of atheism. I concede that.
On a side note about your pathetic little poll, life is not multiple choice. He probably did not answer your idiotic questions because he considered it to be beneath him to do so. I imagine to him it's something along the lines of trying to explain quantum physics to the average six year old who KNOWS that it's just magic and if you say otherwise you are a liar.
