Atheism vs. Theism
I don't know where theists get off saying I don't understand the value of "faith" as an atheist.
Yes, I do. I have faith. It's just a faith instilled in a different conclusion than yours.
Given that humanity has demonstrated a propensity to lie and create methods of control over its own populace, I have faith that all of these religions are fabrications for moral guidance.
Your faith is that a book written thousands of years ago detailing events you weren't there to witness holds all the answers and path to salvation.
If there is a God, I don't know why he would punish me for using logic and then reward you for blindly accepting any random body of writing as "The Truth".
