Strong Atheism starts from faith

[tavarish]

What makes you different than the ones who still believe my celestial mongoose story in lieu of evidence that show the entire story was a fabrication?

What makes _Christianity_ different is that there is no evidence to show that it is fabrication. It still holds true.

So absolutely nothing then. It's one thing to believe a fairy tale, it's another to think that the fairy tale has no evidence to show it's a fairy tale. How can I know Hansel and Gretel isn't based on a true story? Why would I NEED to prove that?

You need to know where the burden of proof is.

This is confirmation bias. Plain and simple.

I would require corroborating evidence and logical proofs to counter those of the Christian tradition. If it was true I would abandon my logical position.

Your logical position to assume a claim is true, then find subjective interpretations to fit your belief.

Very logical, I sure hope you find the corroborating evidence to counter Christianity, like, you know, common sense.

I am a Christian, and I can tell you where you are wrong, which so far, has been quite a lot.

Ask any other Christians if they believe the entire Bible should be taken literally. Then give them your definition of God and see it you aren't faced with varied and opposing attitudes.
