1/2. What I have discovered over the last three days is that those who deny the existence of God cannot stand the thought that it might actually take faith to say God does not exist. I have had non-stop atheists and agnostics trying to make me change a statement I made for days! My statement, "It takes faith to be an atheist." They went into meltdown! So much so, I actually concluded that "atheism and agnosticism are religions in their own right and it takes faith to be either"
