| donathos said: Obviously I can't speak for every atheist, but my views amount to this: Based on what I've seen, experienced, and reasoned in this world, I have found no good reason to believe in any deity. And, if I don't have a good reason to believe in something, I won't.
If you think that such a position means that I secretly have faith, I can only respectfully disagree. Perhaps I see "faith" differently. |
Its not actually an option. If you can't make a logical argument for a belief it has faith as its basis, even if there is a logical argument for it (because if you don't know the logical argument then your belief is still not based in logic).
Having found no reason to believe in something is only partial logic to not believe it, from there it is faith that your logic and reasoning to that point had you headed in the right direction that you use to make a leap to the conclusion, it is a conclusion reached based on a leap of faith. If not then what do you use to take you the rest of the way to a conclusion?
How do you see faith that might change this?
