Why is not believing in your particular God a "faith"?

Because you have no objective evidence that my God doesn't exist. You are basing your belief (faith) not on proof but on what you presume to be an absense of proof as to His existience. You're belief in a non-supernatural cause to the universe is solely predicated on a emoitional certainty that God can't exist.

There is no evidence that God can't exist -- in fact -- as noted earlier -- there are paradoxes in physical laws which have historically been explained via the presumption of a Creator apart from the laws of nature.

So? I have no objective evidence that Krsna doesn't exist, but for some reason I've never had any religious Freeper ask me why I have faith that Hinduism isn't true.

You ignored my second question. Why only the god that you worship? Why doesn't anyone here claim that lack of belief in Vishnu or Zeus is "faith"?

You're belief in a non-supernatural cause to the universe is solely predicated on a emoitional certainty that God can't exist.

If you're going to make comments on my world-view, please get it right. I've never claimed a certainty that the god that you worship can't exist. I simply do not hold belief in things for which I have seen no evidence, and thus far your god falls into the category of "things for which I have seen no evidence".

You wouldn't like it if I made comments about you regarding beliefs that you don't hold.
