I just got done watching a live feed with Steve Shives and about a half a dozen other Atheists that were invited into an open discussion with a christian talking about beliefs. It was a pretty interesting discussion. In the end the christian
could not prove his points with anything more than faith. So he had to agree with the rest to disagree. His big question for the invitation was why should he be an Atheist? In closing a lot of the Atheists told him he should not be one because
he had faith in his religion. Then he got all preachy and told the Atheists that they should consider the teachings of the bible. I consider myself a thoughtful agnostic...I officially don't know because nothing can be proven on either side for
the existence of God, and I reject faith as a proof. I truly believe in harm none do as you will. That means that you are welcome to your beliefs of God and I won't critisize you for believing them. Every person has their own thoughts on
religion, it gives them comfort and purpose to life. I just request that they respect my lack and don't critisize me for not believing.
