Did that guy really just get applauded for answering "Why does the bible say there are insects with four legs?" by glibly remarking that "The bible only says that SOME insects have four legs!"? Seriously?!

[@Fremily]

Should have addressed the questions instead of trying to answer them normally. A question like "How does an atheist explain love?" is only muttered by an insecure theist, mainly because they know they have a 'catch-all' answer in their back pocket, which is "God did it" (or a variation of that), which isn't really answering anything at all! They don't have a clue either, they can just say "God blah blah" and know that other theists will nod their head and agree, without really thinking about it.
