Question to Christians re humility

[kılıç_mehmet]

One of the criticisms we often see levelled against Atheism, and particularly scientifically argued atheism, is that the doubters are "arrogant" and should be more "humble".

What is really meant by this, is there a Christian-specific meaning to humility? We all know the dictionary definitions, but I'm confused how any such criticism isn't equally or more-so applicable to the religious position?

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 reasoning atheist acknowledges the caveats of what they 'know', whereas the faithful Christian is in no doubt about the existence of god.

Sorry if this is an old topic done to death, but I am curious and never heard the Christian side of this.

Well, humility requires that you ought not to declare yourself "more humble than others". I've not really heard of such an accusation, but I guess you've personally be accused of arrogance by a christian, so that you felt the need to open this thread. I say that he who has accused you is less humble in comparison to those who do not boast their humility, as humility requires that a person does not boast himself, even if it's the subject of his humility.
