The point, as <A HREF="http://lfab-uvm.blogspot.com/2007/02/it-takes-lot-of-faith-to-believe-that_16.html" REL="nofollow">I've explained many times</A>, is that when religious people think calling atheism "faith" is the best way to discredit atheism, then what does that say about their <I>own</I> opinion of faith? It says that they recognize that "faith" isn't as good a reason for believing things as evidence is, and they want to bring atheists down to their level. Even making this argument means that -- for you -- religion already lost; has no credibility.C. L. Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698855413639518095noreply@blogger.com
