[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Atheism is simply another form of religious faith. Faith in nothing is still faith in something. [/quote]

It is a type of faith, but not a religious one. [/quote]

This is a stupid statement.  Atheism is not "faith in nothing".  It is simply the lack of belief in a god or gods.

Do you have "faith" there are no leprechauns?[/quote]

Yes, I have "faith" that there are no leprechauns. Faith has multiple meanings beyond ones involving religion. [/quote]

Well then since this is a Religion forum, in the future I suggest that you explain and define your non-standard terms, so that we can understand their irrelevance here.[/quote]

You made an assumption that others would make the same error as you in interpreting your version of faith's meaning by asking the question of "do you have faith that there are no leprechauns".

Short answer, yes, I have "great trust or confidence in ..." that there are no leprechauns. (Cambridge dictionary)

I feel sorry for you that you can't understand the most basic definition of a word, especially one you posed erroneously. [/quote]

Dude YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SAID THERE WAS A DIFFERENT MEANING FOR FAITH.  You.  I know what faith means when religious people say it.[/quote]

As I said previously,  I do feel sorry for you. You asked the question and it was answered. You just don't like the answer. If you wanted it to mean what you assumed, you should have asked, "do you have [b]religious[/b] faith there are no leprechauns."

Stop getting your panties in a wad. [/quote]

I don’t need you to feel sorry for me.  I could not care less.  Just you saying that is repulsive and creepy.  I will reiterate though that:

- You claimed there were more than one meaning of the word faith.
- Then you complained that I can’t understand the right one (yours).

Which is it?  Are there one or more?

You make no sense, man.[/quote]

There is nothing creepy about you being wrong, or your inability to look up a definition of a word in any online dictionary. Or, the fact that you don't understand a word can be used in many contexts.
