1. Yes. A Logical Tautology is certain. eg A=A

2. A vague question. There is a physical 'self' that we can observe. There is a conceptual, intangible 'self' that can only be observed thru manifestation of its processes.

3. Skepticism has nothing to do with feelings. Should i be dubious about someones sadness?? Should i doubt someones anger??

How atheists and theists feel is of no importance to me. what matters are facts and truth.

1 and 2. what does this have to do with atheism. You can ask this question of anyone religion. 3. makes no sense again in the sense of beliefs. Sorry mate your questions make no sense in their relevency to religion or non-religion. Heres one for you; do you believe in the bible?

For starters, you can't question atheism, because atheism is simply the natural result of: 1) critical thinking and 2) the total absence of evidence pointing to the existence of "god". Unless you bring up evidence of the existence of "god", and you are not doing that in this video, there is no point in discussing "atheism".

1. There is "certainty by definition", in that we all collectively agree what a circle is. Outside of that the nature of scientific enquiry means we constantly seek to question the world around us...it's how we learn. There's also the nature of finite mathematics which defines the nature of "certainty".

2. The self is subjectively experienced though it's nature is always being explored through neuro science and psychology.

3. Yes I enjoy seeking for knowledge so I question.

These are pretty childish questions. You haven't been able to answer these easy questions yourself? No-wonder you're religious; you're an idiot.

You don't need to have a faith in order to answer these questions. Sitting your ass on a pew doesn't give you incredible insight on life.

@CocoKing238 Well he was built in the exact image of god, that actually explains a lot about why god was such a prick in the old testament, then Jesus discovered the herb in the New Testament and got really chill. Not as much as Buddha, he's the chillest motherfucker out there.

3. It is arrogant to assert that I expect something of someone simply for belonging to a group. Feelings are general cognitive statements; simplifications of rational thought. Necessary for survival (touching that thing hurts; I probably should´t touch it again(simplified to "I don´t like that thing")). Feelings are generally effective, otherwise we would never trust them. I simply want people to question the reasons for their feelings when something outside them contradicts them.

2. A self is a unit. An entity made up of smaller parts or components. You seem to be talking about Self as a concept. An important note is that the self is ever-changing, never static. If I cut you in 2 pieces of equal size, which one is the original self? None of them are. They are 2 new selves. With every breath the self change slightly, while some characteristics are maintained.
