1: "Everyone knows that God exists"
False. Everyone (or mostly everyone) know of the concept of God, but NO ONE, not even you, knows that it actually exists.

2: "Why do atheists look for 'loopholes' and 'contradictions' in the bible"
Because you consider it a holy text and we don't. By showing that it is false, we are proved right.

3: "atheists are atheists to get laid"
You're projecting.

4: "Atheists are atheists because they like wicked things"
This is just not right and I dare say that you're projecting again. There is no logic to it.

5: "lucifer was an atheists; played this hand already"
Are you arguing that lucifer, if he existed, would not believe in God? Are you that dense? Unlike humans he would have an intimate relationship with him and actually have been in his presence, so why in the world would he not believe? He would freaking KNOW. But this is like arguing why Ahab poured his hatred on the white whale; ultimately not important - it's a fiction.

6: "What he internally know is true"
There is no prior knowledge. Immanuel Kant tried that one and failed.

the lyrics in the description are wrong:

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table,
David Hume could out-consume,
Schopenhauer and Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say could stick it away,
Half a crate of whiskey everyday.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And René DesCartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker
but a bugger when he's pissed.

I'm not trying to forgive ignorance, I'm just saying that people don't all have the same knowledge set. Ask me about science all day long, but kindly don't ask me about contemporary poetry. I can tell you who Linus Pauling is or the charge of and code for each aminoacid, but all I know about Immanuel Kant is that he was "a real pissant and was very rarely stable." Sometimes you have to trust what experts tell you. Otherwise you'll wind up a Jack of all trades and a master of none. That, and not everyone is smart.

The fact that people should know most of these answers goes without saying, but understanding why those that don't don't is far more interesting to me than what they in fact know. How the heck can you NOT know that the center of the earth is hot?! Where is all that molten rock coming from, the sky?

I'd be interested in seeing a poll of our house and senate with the same questions.

Well, I think we all know that Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable.
