But that doesn't work when the matter of faith is about God. You can't use God as justification when what you are having trouble believing is that there is a God. Would you tell the diabetic to continue using lemon juice if his source was adherents of Hinduism and its religious texts...
You want a new direction from the subject of the thread? I don't understand your request. I clarified what I meant when I said I would bring it up no more in my previous post here: http://www.christianforums.net/showthread.php?t=46078&p=717656&viewfull=1#post717656
I didn't say Christians couldn't talk about it. I just said it was controversial and that it would probably be best for me to leave off commenting on that subject since I am not a Christian.
I believe I understood what you meant by this. My perspective is that this is more of an individual...
I think it would be better to avoid generalities and focus on specific individuals, even when the generalities do hold up. The reason for this is that while a generality may be true, specific individuals often operate in more complex and indirect means and so can confound our reliance on...

I would say that atheism is not a religion. The reason I state this is that while atheism can be a set of beliefs about God, it can also be the rejection of beliefs about God. In other words, to say "I believe there is no God" is not the same as saying "I do not believe there is a God". The...
Re: You assume so much, and so much of it is in error
No, I answered it. I don't know how my answer can be construed as "ignored", but I did not ignore it. Perhaps I did not answer it the way you wished, but that is not the same as ignoring it.
You want me to present my views on atheism...
And if you apply it and it does not seem to work? I know you can always object that someone didn't apply it long enough, but surely there are limits to that. If someone told you lemon juice cured diabetes, should a diabetic continue to use this remedy until it worked?
