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.It is completely untrue, why would it take faith to not believe in something? It's total nonsense.
Quote: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 I've seen no evidence or given any good reason to believe in a god. My stance is based on the lack of evidence for a god. I think there is in fact evidence against the idea of a god but does not disprove it's existence, merely demonstrates that a god was never needed for a universe to exist, and so this god would lack necessity to exist.
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, there could be evidence that there is a god, however so far I've yet to see any that actually supports the existence of god. I don't think there is or can be any evidence for a god because I don't believe a god exists. However I am open to the idea and evidence that'll support such a claim.
No faith is involved.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
