It might become stronger. Do you ever try reading atheist or science texts? If anything you’ll be able to formulate better augments with non-believers.

Uh, perhaps you should name texts you have read about the Bible, Christianity, or general apologetics?
Yes, I have tested my faith plenty by reading. I not only think I can forumate better arguments with non-believers, I can formulate better arguments for non-belief than they (or many of them).
I suggest:
Why I am not a Christian by Bertrand Russell
Critiques of God by Peter A. Angeles
Or other works by Kurt Baier, John Dewey, Antony Flew, Freud, Erich Fromm, Sidney Hook Ernest Nagel, or Kai Nielson. Don't forget the ever contemptuous Richard Dawkins.
If you have postmodern tastes I suggest Mark C. Taylor, Richard Rorty, and Stanley Fish.
And the end-all site for atheist apologetics:

I read texts of all sorts and yes I try to test my faith. I have looked at all the major religions and some of the lesser knowns as well in my journey to test my faith. I think it is safe to say I am comfortable debating my side of a faith based argument with whomever chooses the platform.

the answers are out there...
theists as well as atheists are doing the same thing...
both are seeking out the answers...
the question is, are both looking at the same question?
(there will always be uninformed atheists as there will always be uninformed theists... each person are like runners running in a marathon that nobody knows how long, how short, how easy, how hard... some are just beginning the race, some are somewhere in the middle, some nearer the finish, so we cannot judge each one by the perpective they have as we may not know where they are specifically in the race or how long they have travelled)

I study texts of all kinds and particular i attempt to attempt my faith. I have known in any appreciate the genuine religions and more than a number of the lesser knowns as well in my experience to attempt my faith. i imagine it truly is take care of to declare i'm smooth debating my fringe of a faith depending argument with whomever chooses the platform.

Yes, I have read those tomes, I have also read many other books that weren't on the approved reading list and that is how I came to worship the Goddess.

Can you prove to me the universe is not finite. If not, it has a beginning, and was created. That's pure science. Back up by the Bible.

Atheism is all there is...if your looking for answers. It certainly narrows and widens the search and is only for the mature minded
p.s. try telling people atheism dose not mean no ethics...

Theists faith is stronger because we don't debate scoffers,hellbounders and imbeciles. Read the bible and know that God commanded us differently when it comes to arguments and debates. I don't throw my pearls to Swine!
