Atheists ridicule the concept of faith, but the belief that there isn’t a God, is every bit an act of faith as in believing there is one.

A very popular statement (got said loads of times in the old crevo debates), but the logic supporting it just isn’t there.

It takes faith to believe in something unseen. The opposite is not true. Unless you can make sense of the statement ‘it takes faith not to believe in something unseen’.

I’d love to know but don’t. I don’t suggest that others cannot know. Makes me a wishy washy agnostic I guess.

I completely agree. I don’t see how an honest atheist would not admit that.

By the way, I’m a Florida Gator, living in D/FW. Go Gators!
