Reposted for discussion about the nature of Faith and the obvious lack of supporting empirical evidence that faith implicit in its very nature. Is faith anything more than a pipe dream?

So I ask again....

What do Harry Potter, LOtR, Action Comics 1, The bible, Koran and Torah, have in common?

Made up stories which are un realistic and silly, so why do rational people believe in such twaddle just because the stories are old? Or do rational people not believe in it at all. Is Faith an interchangeable word for gullible?

Low and behold, this man represents the atheists. And he wonders why there are religious people out there. This was a truly hilarious post missing all the points you could possibly missed. Good job

Shut up.

as always on the internet, when atheist strawman meets confirmation bias addict, it's love at first sight.

And the unintelligent troll who doesn't know what confirmation bias means, swoops in to make it a love triangle.

Is that what's happening here?

You mean Richard Dawkins, the guy I paraphrased in the initial opening post? Isn't he some kinda scientology st or summin?

So someone else said the stuff? That changes everything.

He does not. He is an atheist, it seems. But there are 100 different ways to that same epistemological conclusion, and OP's is one of the more shallow and antagonistic. In that respect, he represents nothing beyond himself. And, frankly, he's probably either quite young or trying to get a rise out of strangers on the internet. Either way, the OP, structured as it is and all of about three sentences, can be safely ignored as anything resembling a coherent or defensible worldview.

Athiesm is not an organization. You cant cherrypick a spokesman because he's a famous scientist.

But lets be real for a sec. i have nothing against an athiest sock puppet show. Just more with the humor and try not to wear your dogma on your sleeve, like you just did there. Makes it too obvious and you only end up fooling the most stupid and gullible of us.

Makes it too obvious and you only end up fooling the most stupid and gullible of us. I didn't pick the Scientist, the Scientist picked the issue. Of course though on any issue people pick and choose which voices resonate and the fact when you or I make a statement on an issue and no one cares shows exactly the opposite of what you are saying. BTW what is a sock puppet?

An effigy created to inspire people to embarrass themselves. Strawman if you prefer.

Bra, I was joking. Of course he doesn't represent the intelligent atheists.
