PP here. I stand corrected: “most” atheists is more accurate than a broad-brush characterization of all atheists. Unfortunately, it looks like there are two strident exceptions in the religion forum, and their voices drown out the thoughtful atheist posters.

As you might expect, the response to your position (which is not insulting, thanks) is that belief is called belief for a reason. It’s about faith. If we knew for certain God exists, then we wouldn’t truly have free will. We’re not asking you to buy this, but it’s “real” to us. Some believers, however,  even feel they have proof in the form of miracles or conversations with their god. [/quote]

I understand faith and I know it is very important to you and other believers, and that you feel it gives your life value and meaning.  Do you care if it is true? Is there any position you could not accept "on faith"?[/quote]

Not pp: faith that one holds isn’t based on another person’s (yours, actually) opinion or values or morals.

It’s actually quite rude to question someone about their faith. It’s really none of your business.

I don’t question any Muslim or Jewish people on their faith and ask if it’s true. They believe and embrace it and it’s none of my business at all.

You should not ask people about their bank account balance either.  Money and religion are personal.[/quote]
