This is an atheist forum where I feel safe to share my frustrations regarding religion and theists in a world that would rather be deluded in too many ways.

It's been occurring to me of late that Safety in the true god of the skeptic, and not Truth. A skeptic calls nothing true that hasn't gone through a verification process. Incomplete understandings, subjective understandings, complex expressions, are all relegated to a lower level of importance than established, verifiable facts. To stake the most only on propositions that can be verified, however, is not veracity, but defensiveness. Eventually, the more aggressive aspects of one's human nature will break down it's defenses and leave him or her good for nothing at all. We need faith in things not yet seen, things we don't yet have technical understanding of or even ability to communicate succinctly, to regenerate life itself.
