The alt.atheism weekly Questions and Answers are hereby presented for your perusal. Up to 15 answers will be chosen for each question, I hope you enjoy this website as much as I enjoyed putting it together. I'd like to thank Susan Osthaus, for her time and patience teaching me how to put a website together. Without her help, this website would not exist. I'd also like to thank some of the folks from alt.atheism for their assistance at times when I was ready to pull my hair out, especially Fish, Maria, Lori and Rian. And I would like to thank Scott Balneaves for helping (a lot) to bring this website back to life. My thanks to you all.
