What would we talk about, if no one had invented god?

A famous old seminary story went along the lines of an old, gentle priest bitterly complaining about atheists to a younger, somewhat shocked priest. "The thing I can't stand about atheists is that they always want to talk about God."

Well for one thing I'd be working in the garden, as my partner wants, instead of typing on this keyboard. Thank god for God!

Well, any person of average intelligence knows damned well we'd talk about sex and politics!

As Glenn said free-will is a great topic: is it another god? Consciousness and sense of self are pretty good as well. That should keep me out of the garden a little longer. :-) Alex

Probably reading out loud articles from science journals and saying: "Hey - isn't this cool?"

So no different from normal really except it wouldn't be interspersed by brief moments of having to take down creationism

Some of us have discovered that great time-sink Free Will vs Determinism

sex, politics, money
Always something to talk about. Humans are a chatty bunch with or without god.
