I wonder if you noticed the irony of you using manmade beliefs to argue that beliefs are not manmade?
I wonder if you noticed the context and usage of the word in the culture and language it came from at the time of it's use?
I'm amazing at your continued belief in your assertion in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary! Very un-atheist of you...
To be clear: it does not matter here if the is or isn't a God, the context of repeated usage of the word in the language/time of it's origin definitively state over and over that faith is not a belief made by man.
It does not matter that Superman is a made up character, he's allergic to kryptonite, not Samsonite.....it falls from the sky, it's not made in a factory. Get it???
But you can make it mean butterfly breaths and rainbow sharts if you really want to.
