When a christian says "it takes more faith to be an atheist", doesn't that imply.....?

Question

As if, having more faith, was a bad thing.. Hmm?

Doesn't it imply that even christian actually realises that faith is nothing more than a "cop-out"?

Bronze Nose knows it. ;)

Answer 1

Christians are so spun up in their own contradictions they dont even realize what they are saying half the time

Christian theology is not bound by or tethered in fact, therefore there are no boundaries and they can pretty much interpret anything as anything

Answer 2

No,... having more faith is, that it require more energy from the atheist individual to believe in what they believe than a christian. Thinking logically if there is no God How you explain you been here?, Where you came about been a human or How every living thing is reproduce according their own kind. If there is a design there has to be a designer and if there is miracle there is God. Or if putting in this way nothing comes from nothing, but you are here. Where you come from or where you going to when you die? Or is it better to say in the beginning God created all according to their own king or genes.

Answer 3

For most people in the US, Christianity is the default option. They were born into Christian families and raised in some variety of Christian religion. For them, turning away from religion requires a good deal more faith (in themselves and their perceptions) than continuing in their beliefs. It also requires a certain amount of courage, as they probably live surrounded by believers.

*** g02 6/8 p. 4 How Did the Universe and Life Originate? ***
--“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”—Albert Einstein.

--IT TAKES MORE "blind faith" or "credulous" belief to believe in the nothing god or in the religions of Christendom with their unreasonable doctrines such as trinity, hellfire, immortal soul etc.

--The Bible faith is far from being blind or credulous as its definition teaches:

***(Hebrews 11:1) “11 Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld.”

--SIMILAR TO the true sciences. ( not evolution) faith is practiced in the invisible forces to expand their understanding of the laws of true sciences and other invisible forces!
--BLIND FAITH is truly a cop-out and always will be in the false science & in false religion!

According to physics professor Henry Margenau, “if you take the top-notch scientists, you find very few atheists among them.” Neither the advances of science nor the failure of religion need force us to abandon belief in a Creator

Answer 5

Clearly everyone knows "faith" is a cop out... evidence is all that can tell truth...

Answer 6

they just get mad because we have no faith (at least i don't, i'm atheist/agnostic). we say that faith is stupid, so they say it takes faith to not believe in god to try to make us contradict ourselves.

there is a difference you know...not believing in god and believing there is no god. i am the former, and i think most atheists are too.

Answer 7

Of course not. It means that you ave to turn a blind eye to all the wonders of this creation in order to completely believe that we are all here by chance.

BTW, What do you have to lose by believing in God?
What will you lose if you live your life as if there is no God and die to find out there is?

Answer 8

Whether we atheists have more faith then them or less faith depends on which is more convenient for the christian at that moment

Answer 9

No, what it means is that to many Christians it is actually easier to believe in a creator than it is to believe in any other explanation of life and creation. Even for many who understand the constructs of evolution.

Answer 10

I will not say that this is how I particularly think, but it does make their faith sound weaker somehow than that of an Atheist.
