Pull up a chair
March 17, 2014 at 5:52 pm
Pull up a chair and have a seat. In this thread I invite atheists and agnostics to discuss the topic of faith.
What is faith?
We all know that faith is an important aspect of Christianity. But what about atheism? Does an atheist exercise faith?
If so, how?
In what way?
I maintain that many atheists do indeed exercise faith despite what they may say about it.
So let us begin the discussion.

If you can point out something I believe purely on faith, I will re-evaluate it.
If I were to dump everything I know I would be an Atheist. No faith required.

If atheism is a faith bald is a hair colour.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I will try to avoid telling you what a presumptuous and condescending fool you are if you think you can tell me anything in this regard that I haven't thought about much more deeply than you, but I have litte faith that I'll manage. Oh, too late already!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... no. Sorry to say, I don't have faith. I don't need it. I have logic, science, evidence, facts, etc. instead.

Is this supposed to be like group therapy?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Yesterday, I walked across a bridge, and I had faith that it wouldn't collapse! Faith! Praise Jesus! Because that's totally the same thing as believing in a sky fairy that some goatherders made up 4000 years ago.
