I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist

RE: I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist
(September 26, 2014 at 5:11 pm)Mister Agenda Wrote: Yah, it kinda gets me up front that the core argument of the book is that it takes more faith to not believe in God than to believe (using a definition of atheist as someone certain there's no God), as though the ideal belief is the one which involves the least faith...which I kind of agree with; but whatever happened to faith being a virtue, I thought Christianity was all tied up with that idea. These guys are irritating to me not only as an atheist but as a former Christian, and I'm not even 30 pages in!

Christians seem to be very uncomfortable with three little words: I don't know. Which is odd because they are very comfortable with three other words which mean much the same thing: It's a mystery.
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.
