Then why is it that it allways seems like your attacking both one and the same?
And I am sorry hon, trust, faith, belief, it all means the same thing, they are synonyms for a reason.
The Atheists have no more evidence to support their beliefs than anyone else and becuase they act like any other group who follows any given belief system I see no difference between their faith and that of others.
You did so well trying not to be derogatory too Thorne,,,right up until the end, when you labeled whole cross sections of people as spewing hatred and lies.
Religions (organized belief systems) have been with us most likely from the very very early beginings of human kind, and becuase they are quite natural for us as a species to maintain since they are a part of us in ways we are only begining to fully understand, its my guess they will remain with us through out in one way or another.
