So can I ask what it is you have faith in?
You assume pretty much here. First off, I am not a strong atheist, and most on this website aren't either.
What do I have faith in? Things that can be assumed to occur based on previous experiences. Having faith that the earth will rotate so I can see the Sun tomorrow again, having faith I will still have a job next month. I might not be, but I have faith I do.
Quote:And if you trust these things by faith, what do you count on as fact?
Things that can be demonstrated to be accurate.

Yes we (as in you and me) have, because I am not in the mood for long discussions on semantics. Just state your case and get it over with.
