["But what is faith, Carico? Is it belief in the bible? That is definitely not what I have found faith to be."]
"It certainly isn't faith in our own imaginations! That's what atheists do. They think that if they believe something then that makes it true."

And here I thought most atheists had a simple two step process:I know? I'm only one of them. Like a man blowing his top but ignorant of his anger, I'm blind to how this is really just a faith. Unlike Christian faith, of course, which is blind itself but "absolutely true nonetheless."
"It certainly isn't faith in our own imaginations! That's what atheists do. They think that if they believe something then that makes it true."You couldn't get it more backwards than that, Carico. Atheists generally believe in demonstrable facts and theories supported by good evidence. Christianity requires faith, which is belief in assertions and things for which there is no supporting evidence.
Aaaaaah Carico, the ugliest and most hideous of the Gorgons, and her legendary aversion to mirrors after the death of her sister Medusa.
I don't know about all atheists, but I base my beliefs on evidence and reason.

If you could prove your religion to be true,
we don't believe in things that don't exist and we don't believe the stories that never happened
you disbelieve Greek, Norse and Native legends. Why? They have as much proof as Christian beliefs
Confused?
