If that's true, then you're on the right track.
Quote:I'm sure you've all heard that it takes more faith to be an atheist than a theist, well I'm unsure if that is actually true.
Sounds like a great sales pitch... if what you're peddling is unfounded nonsense.
Quote:So here is my question, well, there is actually two questions:
It seems that many atheists are atheists not because of evidence against theism but because of a lack of evidence for theism. Is this true?
I am an atheist because of the evidence against theism, as well as the lack of evidence for it. Why are you not a Hindu? Because of evidence against it, or lack of evidence for it?
Quote:If so, isn't there a little faith involved that there really isn't any evidence for theism that may have been overlooked or yet to be discovered?
No. I don't have faith that evidence for theism might've been overlooked. That's insanity. With all of the desperate religious nuts out there, if there was evidence, I assure you it wouldn't be overlooked. If there were evidence, there would be no need for faith.
If evidence is discovered, it will probably be another hoax, so forgive me for having no faith whatsoever in anything having to do with theism.
