Rhizo I consider myself a strong or militant atheist and I disagree that my position takes faith. Simply put if I was to put everything I know about Christianity and mythology in general on one side of a scale and everything I know about scientific discoveries that contradict and in fact prove Christianity and mythological beliefs wrong, then I would be correct to choose the one that has the most weight.
All religions Christianity included are derived from previous mythology. I don't see a difference between mythology and religion, in my mind they are both exactly the same. There is no gray area for me gods either exist or they don't. Science and reason have slowly but surely been dismantling religious beliefs and over and over again have shown them all to be wrong. Let's not forget that what we now call myths or mythology at one time were called religions and believed in just as fervently as Christians believe in Christ.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
