So I believe its not Theists that have a block about the word faith.
You can "try and level the playing field" all you want by claiming that atheism is a faith based position, but I will tell you now, you will get NOWHERE on here if you can't get past that.
It simply isn't faith based.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
