12 - Mr Blur - To believe in no God is an act of faith as it is scientifically unprovable and therefore as much an act of faith as is religious belief. As the ability to prove that God does not exist would require universal knowledge, only God him/her/itself could actually prove this. Agnosticism (Dawkins’ earlier position (see “Selfish Gene”) is the truly skeptical approach.

“Surely atheism is as much an act of faith as religion.”

No, of course it isn’t. Religion requires belief/faith in supernatural forces. Atheism requires no such thing - we prefer to put our trust in natural laws which are subject to testing and examination. Trust and faith are two completely different things. If I take a flight in a plane I trust that the scientific laws which govern the design and construction of the plane will keep it in the air - I don’t have faith that they will, because I don’t need it.

Dawkins used to be an agnostic, if I remember rightly - a more reasonable, skeptical approach. Surely atheism is as much an act of faith as religion.

Andrew….

“Article 11 the treaty of tripoli states that America is not founded on the Christian religion, and that all faiths are respected.”

———————————–

I admit, I am a US citizen but also very ignorant in politics so I have no idea what you are referring to with the ‘all faiths are respected’ theory. WTF????

But I am thinking you are not far from the target.

Article 11 the treaty of tripoli states that America is not founded on the Christian religion, and that all faiths are respected.

Article 1 of the constitution makes this clear also.

Christians have no right to be harassing people because of their differing belief.

“there is “nothing that can stop us because that’s God’s intention”. Let’s hope al Qaeda stop working together”

Yeah, and the same thing could be said about the C.I.A and the covert business of the security council….

No idea about the prayer thing - but the pic on the bottle makes GW look more like the little spider monkey some of us think he is….

Not to insult the spider monkeys.
