I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist
#12
RE: I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist
What Simon said. Get out a good logical dictionary, or just use the net and label the fallacies in the margin. If using the web, you can cite the page in the margin. Hand it back to dear sweet mum-in-law with notes. On the plus side, when you get through you'll have a lot of new, or newly reinforced vocabulary. On the downside, mum-in-law won't be happy.

If the book really is about converting atheists, don't worry about deconverting mum. Just tell her that belief depends on faith, and you don't have any. If she does, fine.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
