Do Christians have faith in oxygen/air?

RE: Do Christians have faith in oxygen/air?
The simple answer is that you have faith in air. More precisely you have faith that the air will continue to exist and to be there for you. While it is irrefutably there right now you can not know wether it will continue to be there.
What is it you most dislike? Stupidity, especially in its nastiest forms of racism and superstition.”

Um no, that is not the same expectation theist have.

Theists thrive off of magic, superstition and super natural super heros.

I don't have "faith" in anything. I do, however have a reasonable expectation based on prior observations that breathing is common. 

The theist by their logic, should not ask for help if they choke on food, but pray to a god. The atheist would make the attempt to find help because of the sudden change in conditions. The theist does the same, but out of hypocrisy because reality doesn't match their superstition and they don't want to admit it. If they survive, it is always God and a "miracle" and not the real conditions that lead to their survival.

Simply put: air can be detected, measured, and analyzed. God cannot.

Kev, I beg to differ!
