"faith is the abandonment of logic and reason and the subjugation of ones mind and true self "
Utterly ridiculus. Faith is belief without evidence. Clearly atheists don't allow for intangible evidence like intuition, spirit, visions, miracles or historically unfounded documents. They allow for mathmatical proofs of scientific theories though. Clearly the type of evidence required is variable and in my opinion should be relative to the subject of proof. I use historical evidence to support history, math for mathmatics, etc. Atheists simply won't except spiritual evidence for proof of spirituality. If Faith is belief without evidence and I'm a materialist then you could never convince me Math proved anything. I still wouldn't assert that Faith in Mathmatics is the abandonment of logic and reason. Preposterous. And as far as "the subjugation of ones mind and true self "... perhaps your biased hatred of your previous beliefs is clouding you opinion a bit? Perhaps that's subjugation of your true self.. I'm not commenting any more on that.
VOID- Could you define the type of reasoning and evidence required for substantiation?
