Got a comment about why atheists keep bringing up the God conversation. Religion is simply a way of grasping people by offering them a simple explanation to the complexities of life, making it easy to accept. However the unyielding faith you have without any need for actual proof is also a means to socially program you to not ask questions. I could care less myself about what anyone chooses to believe, however when you apply that conditioning to other matters such as government...

I would concede that Christian can fall into the trap of arrogance. Far from excusing it, arrogance, and self righteousness are part of the human condition. The Word of God rails against it repeatedly, and many Christians fall into the trap (not excluding myself at times!) of engaging non-believers without the full council of God in their hearts.

[MrOzanachronism]

That aside, whether you're atheist or theist, you have to believe something always existed, whether it is 'In the beginning, God...' or 'In the beginning matter/cosmic soup...' Both are things you can't see, but the former can, in fact, be scientifically proven, or proven in objective, rational, metaphysical dialectical debate, and engaging systems of thought of all traditions of thought.

Aside from that, if you have to prove everything ontologically, it's not faith. Atheism is faith too.

[MrOzanachronism]

The fact that I used to be even harder-hearted against anything to do with God and religion, subscribing to every speculative humanist musing in my academic life is proof of an omniscient and omnipresent spirit that thoroughly extirpated my haughty ego, intellectually arrogance and ultimately brought me to my knees.

[MrOzanachronism]

You're right. It is important, and you raise some valid points. It is possible to know that there is a living God, outside of our temporal and spatial realm. I used to be an atheist vexed by the same questions you have.

Yo guys, I was having this convo with an Atheist and he was talking about how he hates people who don't understand definitions. But basically he was saying how arrogance and hypocrisy are one in the same all the while acting like he was intelligent. Not to mention blanket statements rock.
