Re: Why do so many people who believe in god refuse to discuss it?
Hi. In your previous post you stated that "Thiest, faith in God. Athiest, faith that there is no God." But this is incorrect. Atheism does not require faith. Faith requires that you believe that something exists which cannot or is not proven. If athiesm is faith, then everything in the world is faith. If someone believes in unicorns, and I don't, that does not mean that I have "faith" that unicorns don't exist, for there is no conclusive evidence that unicorns exist. By saying that atheism is faith, you strip the word of its meaning, and no, I am not an atheist.
