I'll give you that. Most atheists are agnostic as well as not believing in this thing you call "god". But however uncertain I may be that God exists, I'm far less certain than that all Christians all have the same notion of God.
And it blows my mind that so many of you believe that God whipped everything into being from nothing at all. Such an immodest belief from a group fond of the saying "the meek shall inherit the world". More than that, Christians insist God creates us to be immortal, a claim as fantastic as it is implausible but no where near as much as it is presumptuous.
Then you come around here appalled that we don't own up to our own position also being one in need of some faith. I would be fine with that if what you believed was a little more down to earth. If you just admitted you don't know for sure what God is but you know He cares about you, comforts you and sometimes gives you guidance .. I'd be happy to say fine. Sure I believe things on faith too. Go for it. But then you insist this God -the belief in which you confess requires faith- has supernatural properties. You seem more convinced of what God's omni-properties must be than you are of His actual existence. That's just weird.
Nothing I believe on faith is anything near on par with the farfetched things you believe. Faith can be a good thing but to sling it around on the absurd things you believe requires gullibility and willful ignorance. So no your faith and mine are not of a kind, not even close.
