An ATHEIST has more FAITH than a CHRISTIAN!

[Mixmaster]

The ability to say: "I dont know" is a quite powerful statement. All religions have 100% certainty, but witch one of you is right? All... None...

[aaronjohnson]

I know people argue that if the world was created, it was either by the Big Bang Theory or God, but does anyone actually think that there could be more possibilities than just those 2?

So we can actually sit down and observe evolution happen on a day-to-day basis I can't observe a giant bearded man in a cloud

- So you do agree that having faith is a bad thing, especially if you have nothing reliable to back it up with?

- I don't have faith in any origin story for the universe, or abiogenesis. Just like I don't have faith in any deity that flooded earth while there were humans.
My faith is in things like "there will be a new day tomorrow" or "reality is reliable enough as a source of information". All available evidence strongly suggests that it's true.

- At best this leads to an uncaused cause. While I don't have faith in any specific uncaused cause, I accept that there probably is some kind of uncaused cause.

Oh good! You agree faith is a _bad_ thing, that we want _as little faith as possible._ Fantastic! We agree! Unfortunately for you, however, it takes _zero_ 'faith' to admit to not knowing something but being willing to find out, and a _lot_ of faith to say something exists without sufficient evidence of it. :)

Since faith is supposed to be a virtue, I guess it is neat to hear religious people for once saying that atheists are more virtues that religious people.

"In the beginning there was a germ...and the germ became a lightning bolt." Can I ask where he pulled this theory from?

[eleycki]

The Christian has faith in a story book written to subsume previous pagan ceremonies about a big invisible man in a cloud being vindictive and needy.

It takes zero faith to disbelieve Santa, Jesus, God, Ra, Zues, and any of thousands of other gods. When the atheist does not know something, it does not make your claim, true. All you believers also require zero faith to dismiss Isis, Ab, Sheba, Odin, Pan-Ku, The Dagda, or the others. So, don't start.

[wiliamboyajian]

This is such a dishonest, misrepresented position

[balbs]

It actually takes zero faith to say “I don’t know” because what you are really saying is “I don’t know YET”. As soon as we figure it out we will let you know.

Also, it’s not faith that makes you 100% sure god is real, it’s ignorance.

[olgagorn]

Atheist we don’t have faith an anything, we believe things by proof

[brandonmartin]

"The germ became a lightning bolt"? I know the bible back to front and I'm still an atheist. This guy knows jack and shit. Jack killed himself yesterday.
