About Mike
Hello,
I am an atheist because of reason and personal experience. I am a father of THREE lovely living kids and two dead embryos, married to a lovely Christian Catholic devoted woman. Yes, black and white can coexist as long as there is respect and love, which is something abstracted from any belief or religion.
I do not claim absolute truth and not 100% sure that a God does not exist somewhere out there. The scientific method is what I use to connect to reality. If there is something I don't understand, then it is because i don't understand, not because god exists.
In case you haven't noticed, I am a native Arab, and English is my third language (yes there is second language).
I like reading the Bible and the Quran and the critics of both of them. I also love watching documentaries especially astronomy, cosmology, Quantum Physics, and new discoveries in science in general, and Physics in particular.
What comes to my mind... 
“Consider the Christian alternative. Life after death in a world beyond time, beyond space. Where there is no time there can be no change, no motion or movement. No space implies no dimension. And yet we would be conscious–of what? Of God, they say, of His Love. We shall bask forever in the Love of God. (Forever is a long time.) Like starting at the sun with hands bound, head in a vise, your eyelids taped open–but in this case without even the hope of blindness or the salvation of shrieking insanity.”–Edward Abbey
