Posted by JayMan on Sat Feb 25 08:45:09 2012, in response to Committed atheist has crisis of faith, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Feb 24 12:57:41 2012. As I'm sure you've been told by the other posters here, proper atheists don't declare the definite non-existence of God. I can't say there is no God any more than you can say that there is. Atheism isn't about faith; it's the diametric opposite to faith. It would be a leap of faith to say that there is no God, as opposed to that there's no evidence for the existence of one, and a fair amount of evidence that any God described by Earthly religions does not exist—but not enough to say that one doesn't. To put another way, while I'm sure there's no Loch Ness monster, I can't definitely declare its nonexistence until someone scours the lake and finds nothing. |
