Not believing that God exists is one thing, but doesn't it take just as much faith to believe that it is an irrefutible, absolute fact that God doesn't exist? If blind faith that God DOES exist doesn't make sense to you, then how can you justify blindly believing without a doubt that He DOESN'T exist?

Man struggles to give meaning to his existence so it is possible we have created elaborate systems of beliefs to justify our hunger for validation. How our religious doctrines come down to us should be highly suspect given how far away we are from its inception or origin. Basing it on faith is just to damn convenient to justify my acceptance. I have come to realize a person that argues based on a faith alone has little to no integrity in admitting when you have a valid point against the existance of God.
Some see this as a logical reality and while others don't based on a faith. Most people only believe in a God because we are indoctrinated to believe in his existence. Based on my own observation I have reason know he doesn't exist.

You gotta in basic terms love those responses. Having examine via them, i think of purely one individual surely made an attempt to checklist something which (in his opinion) became an outstanding reason to have faith that God would not exist. i won't be able to help yet giggle at lots of the extraordinarily vulnerable and unsuitable arguments. My well known is the "no info" argument. enable me see if I surely have this good: because of the fact there is not any info of the existence of God, then there should not be a God. If there became a God, there may well be info. What a comedian tale! consistent with that argument, then in basic terms before 1564 there have been no spots on the sunlight, no moons orbiting Jupiter, no jewelry around Saturn and no craters on the moon, in basic terms before 1889 the universe became not increasing and the checklist is going on and on. If absolute info of God's existence have been to be shown the following day, does that advise that God did not exist until now that the following day? Do those human beings contend that something would not exist because of the fact it fairly is not seen? and that they are asserting we are closed minded. The funniest element of those arguments is the consistent bowing on the altar of excellent judgment. Has all of us ever observed that a logical argument starts with a premise, something it fairly is taken to be genuine without info? it fairly is to assert each and every logical argument starts with something it fairly is universal on faith and makes use of logical kit (axioms, postulates, etc) that are additionally in basic terms universal as genuine without being shown. it fairly is somewhat the anomaly of info.

You are correct, logically speakig it takes more (bad) faith to deny God than it does to follow him. Any reasonably inteligent atheist KNOWS that you cannot disprove the idea of God therefore they should always be open to the possiblity!
So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. -Luke 7:22

This all doesn't even matter. People are gonna believe what they want and usually nothing you do can change that. But God is real and his name is Jesus and He will come back one day and there you go...when these people that deny He is real and exists are looking at Him in the face, they will have their proof but it won't matter then.
I don't try to convert people or try to get them to believe. I think when people are open to it, He will reveal himself to them. God has nothing to prove to those who want no part of Him, so He won't shove it down anyone's throat. I pray for those who don't believe, because it is really sad they miss out on such a wonderful God.

to not believe takes absolutely no Faith. To acknowledge a faith in anything such as knowledge-science-genetics, as a personal belief(your God) . Than you are acknowledging that your God has all the answers--no errors--and can explain everything. If you chose this belief you are the only one who has to account for your answers.
This is just one opinion.

Yes it does take as much blind faith.
Atheists say they rely on reason. Reason is logic, cause and effect. With reason you can explain: who (in general terms), what, when, where and how. Reason cannot explain why. Reason does not explain why someone will act one way or another. It can only explain, to a finite degree, reasons for there decision. The true element of why is choice and logic has nothing to do with that. Someone's "Intent" has nothing to do with logic or reason.

EVERY belief is blind faith! I believe I'll be alive to post this answer (BLIND FAITH); I believe I'll wake up tomorrow morning (BLIND FAITH); I believe I'll make it through the rest of the day without dieing (BLIND FAITH)....

It's called "relying on REASON", not faith, when people come to the conclusion that gods don't exist.
