What is really meant by this, is there a Christian-specific meaning to humility?
Quote:How can complete confidence in some interpretation of the bible, which spells out so many amazing things which we are told are factual, be any more humble than the atheist position of evidence based reasoning?The atheist position demands a reason for action. A slave does what he is told and sometimes the reasons will follow.
Quote:The reasoning atheist acknowledges the caveats of what they 'know', whereas the faithful Christian is in no doubt about the existence of god.The reasons the Atheist knows nothing of God and the reason the Believer is in 'No doubt' is because one humbles himself before God and allows God to lift him up, and the other expects God to humble Himself before the atheist and then perform God 'tricks' to prove Himself before man.
