I have a question. Why would you want to enter an atheist forum to state your position as a person of faith? It reminds me of of big bully in a school yard challanging anyone to see whether they can get his lunch from him. Is it that you are interested in self-flaggellation? How can anyone who has studied history, philosophy or even theology honestly have faith in an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient super power. It's absurd. If you want to lie to yourself that is fine. Don't tell me that I should consider you sincerly believe. An intelligent, honest, balanced, enlightened person could have some faith in the unknowable based on a theory for example the Multiverse but not on the obviously spurious claims of a disturbing dogma. It doesn't take any of the above attributes to be an atheist as I was one before I heard the word. I actually remember hearing the word Pantheism in religion class when I was 11 and saying to myself, that was what I was, years before I read Spinoza. Like Einstein, if I refer to god and faith in truths beyond my reach, what I mean is; physics, mathematics, reason, everything around us. The mirace of life and evolution.
