a friend of mine, said "It takes more faith to be an atheist than it does to be a Christian. I totally disagree with her but she kept on aguring bla bla bla my good people, do you really agree?

it all depends on the persons definition of faith

Being an athiest has nothing to do with faith, but facts and reality

In today's world of extreme faith in religion,it takes a lot to have faith in facts and reality.

I understand what the Op friend was trying to imply, with threat of hell, and the promise of heaven, any one who would dare not believe and prepares to face the worst has a strong conviction, That what she mean by faith.

Though i think she should have said the person has a stronger or adventurous mind ,
Faith on it own is adventure. since is not rooted on any reality.

You have to first of all define what you mean by faith, If yu are using the definition of faith in the bible then no one can be more Michael Jackson than Michael Jackson himself.

TS - what's your definition of faith.

I agree it actually takes more faith to the point of extreme delusion to believe there is no God and everything happened by accident.

And as far am concerned the whole concept that an old whiteman with a grey beard created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 days is a fairytale.

It dosen't take faith it takes good reasoning and logic. Someone who can think outside the box

If my posts on this forum are anything to go by you would realize i am a christian who thinks outside the box. Whilst it is pardonable for one not to believe in relgion, it is unfathomable why anyone would believe there is no creator and it takes an extreme level of faith to hold on to that delusion.

The certainty of this opinion is frightening.

There're good reasons to not believe in a Creator God; one of them is quite elementary. Yet, there're reasons to believe there's a Creator. To refer to those in the former as deluded is quite a stretch; it is the undoing of the faithful: that certainty.

I just do not understand this topic
