If evidence for god is in abundance, why is faith necessary?

On top of this is the fact that there is no difference in definition of faith unless you are using it to be polite towards the religious. Faith is merely a belief held without good evidence at its most crudest usage. 

And you seriously have no understanding of anti-theism in the slightest. I am more concerned with your understanding of atheism since so many are trying to make it a religion while telling the religious otherwise. Atheism is not a set of beliefs or an affiliation with an ideology, so stop preaching otherwise or go make your own religion but don't go telling other atheists or in my case anti-theists who and what they are. 

You are no different than an evangelical.

If you can define faith like that, how the hell did you manage to misuse it so badly in your post before? You can't seriously expect me not to be puzzled as all hell by your apparent misunderstanding, or to know if you were just being sarcastic. Again, this is like talking to two different people. Freaking bizarro world.

What is your definition of faith? I am all ears to hear it.

Also I used the same definition in my post before. I am merely addressing the amount of trust people have in the world despite how obviously dangerous it is. Even people like Dillahunty and Dawkins address this and they get no flak from other atheists. Everybody has or does exhibit some faith in the things they do. 

How can faith be this bothersome toward you? It is a word and I am using it without the baggage of religion. If I called atheism a faith that would be idiotic since it makes no claim or shows no trust without reason. But the fact that people have faith in something not religious really seems to disturb you and beg the question do you even know anything about theism or atheism.

You think because I am an antitheist I have to show irrational hate towards theists? 

I used to be a Muslim and left for that exact reason. The only reason I am an antitheist instead of an atheist is because of the serious danger one religion places the whole world in and as to how that bothers you baffles me. 

You just stated earlier that atheists have no faith and that faith is somehow a religion. How do you expect me to take you seriously?


I will grant the possible fact that maybe you are not reading my posts clearly or that I am not reading your posts clearly. BUT please clarify your position so I do not end up hating you for unfair reasons that could easily be solved. I don't wont to call you a troll if one of us misunderstood the other.
