Why You Should Be Atheist
#51
RE: Why You Should Be Atheist
that quote from britain is what I was disputing. It says that because the human mind is hard wired for faith, then not having any makes you an amputee, and being an atheist makes you not have faith.

I am horribly offended by this. All faith means is complete confidence or trust. I have faith in stuff. I even have completely unreasonable faith in stuff. Is it reasonable to have faith in myself? Probably not, because I'm just a little brat with a knack for getting into trouble. But I have faith in myself, because if I didn't, then no one else would. But more than that, I have faith in the human species. This is also completely unreasonable. The human species, with all that it's done to oppress us and hurt us, why should I continue to have faith in them, why should I have faith that they can change and become better, because years of experience shows that they will always be a hierarchal society that oppresses the lower class. So why do I have faith in humanity? Because I have to. Because I'm a human. It's not perfect faith in the sense of the word. But it is just a word.

Your objections were completely without reason. I was trying to give you hope, and you took my word as if words are more than but a symbol of a human's intention. You have much to learn and understand. If you have no faith then you have nothing, but you don't have to have faith in a religion, because religions are full of lies, to love and trust them completely is stupid, that they ask for it is ridiculous.

Words are an imperfect means of communication. Remember that.
