Why do Atheists put so much faith into facts?
It's always 'logic' and 'reasoning' with them, and they try to use 'facts' to disprove God, Facts aren't always true you know.

...Facts aren't always true you know.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fact

Main Entry: fact

Pronunciation:
\'fakt\
Function:
noun
Etymology:
Latin factum, from neuter of factus, past participle of facere
Date:
15th century

1: a thing done: as aobsolete : feat b: crime <accessory after the fact> carchaic : action

2 archaic : performance, doing

3: the quality of being actual : actuality <a question of fact hinges on evidence>

4 a: something that has actual existence <space exploration is now a fact> b: an actual occurrence <prove the fact of damage>

5: a piece of information presented as having objective reality
in fact
: in truth

How about that, eh? FACT: THE QUALITY OF BEING ACTUAL

FACT: SOMETHING THAT HAS ACTUAL EXISTENCE

Still, I bet this definition is an outgrowth of the anti-Christian agenda of those douchebags over at Miriam-Webster. You just can't trust those intellectuals, can you? Even 600 years ago they were trying to undermine the authority of God with their pedantic insistence on FACTS.

Asshole.

I think you're confused about the definition of a fact.

From Dictionary.com-1. Fact-something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.

2. something known to exist or to have happened: Space travel is now a fact.

3. a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: Scientists gather facts about plant growth.

4. something said to be true or supposed to have happened: The facts given by the witness are highly questionable.

5. Law . Often, facts. an actual or alleged event or circumstance, as distinguished from its legal effect or consequence. Compare question of fact, question of law.

“Why do Atheists put so much faith into facts?”
Facts are the same no matter what you have faith in.

“It's always 'logic' and 'reasoning' with them,”
Because they work, he pointed out…on the internet.

“and they try to use 'facts' to disprove God”
No, we don’t. We disprove when you guys INVOKE god as the answer to questions you don’t understand…

“Facts aren't always true you know.”
Name three facts that aren’t true.

How dare atheists put stock into things proven true!!
