Sorry for the late replies to everyone's posts.Super busy at work and I have a busy social life and other commitments as I am sure you all do.
From reading through all the subsequent posts from where I left off, it is obvious that this thread has gone completely in the OPPOSITE direction of where my OP began!
The discussion about the existence of god was NOT in the scope of my post - it was "simply" to ask the strong atheist to define what faith and fact are from THEIR points of view, and then once established, to proceed from there.
It started that way, got to a point, and now has completely focused on proving whether god exists which is what I said very clearly in my OP was not in scope (and is best left to another thread). This is what happens when you leave a thread for this long!
To all the people who have joined this thread subsequently to my last post, I would request you to please read the OP - the direction the thread has taken is quite a bit off!
Can I please ask everyone who is a STRONG ATHEIST on this thread to please answer the two questions from my OP.
I have received many answers but few from actual strong atheists. It is you strong atheists who are in view!
BTW - in case you can't be bothered going all the way back to my OP, I am a Christian who is interested in hearing back from strong atheists about their answers to my two questions.
Thanks in advance, and again, apologies for such a long delay in coming back.
