"You might help out by better explaining what you mean by "faith alone" (you seem to be one of the rare people who really understands this). Can you post a question or two that will help the Christians understand faith and the futility of trying to prove or find evidence for their belief in god? "
SURE! Faith, to Christians, "is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is what we have, when we cant prove something to be right or wrong, to be there or not.
Often times, Christians tend to be asked for proof, and site faith. Faith is our PERSONAL proof, what we find to be true for our own reasons, and will not be proof to everyone. When someone asks for proof, the only argument we have is Faith. Faith alone is our personal proof.
Arguing proof to an atheist is pointless, we have none except our own personal faith and truth. And that is powerful to us. What do you think?

Dear, that was beautifully stated, and I am agnostic. I wish more people felt that way.

I absolutely agree and you put it perfectly. My faith to me is just a feeling I have inside that I'm right and that I'm not alone, that God helps me when I need him to. It's hard to explain to people who are so reluctant to believe anything concerning religion.
