i have faith that God does NOT exist, is my faith as valid as christian's faith?

Answer 1

It's MORE valid. You can provide logical reasons for your "faith". However, Christians can not. If only adherents would admit that they believe for PERSONAL, rather than logical, reasons, then they would be true to their "faith". Claiming faith on a logical basis is dishonest -- faith is a personal position . . . not a logical conclusion or choice.

It take suspension of disbelief to believe in the supernatural: one must convince oneself that the impossible is possible. Because there is no evidence for anything supernatural (including God), NOBODY can claim ANY knowledge of it, whatsoever. Anybody who does is a liar or delusional. That is a FACT.

There are no (absolute) proofs for, or against, the existence of God.

Proof is a tricky word. Many people think that proof establishes something is an absolute fact. That's not often the case; at least, not in the everyday world.

In jurisprudence and science, a reasonable basis for proof is based on solid evidence and the absence of any known contradiction. There's a "reasonable person" standard which defines proof as "beyond a reasonable doubt". The test of time fortifies proofs.

You say there are no unicorns? Prove it. You see? ABSOLUTE proof is an illusion -- especially when trying to prove a negative, such as "There is no God".

However, rephrasing the assertion from "There is no God", to "God is imaginary", makes proof easier, using the "reasonable person" standard. We can't ABSOLUTELY prove it but we can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Consider this . . .

No matter where man has spread, he as created countless gods. From aboriginal Australians to tribal Africans to American Indians to ancient Egyptians . . . they've all created gods prolifically and with ease. That man creates gods is a well-known, indisputable fact.

But what about the opposite? God creating man? We DON'T know that he did. We have no evidence that he did. We have no reason to think that he did. All the evidence points to evolution over the course of billions of years. There's growing evidence that life originated from abiogenesis -- from an electro-chemical reaction in the primordial soup of early Earth.

So, with countless thousands of gods to man's credit, believers are in the untenable position of asserting that all the gods that came before and after theirs are false . . . but their own god (and religion) is real and true. Asserting that one's own god is real, when we know that man created all the others, is ridiculous. It is so unlikely that we can safely consider it delusional.

Man has created countless thousands of gods and YOURS (if you believe) has NO evidence. That, my friend, qualifies God’s existence as dubious, at best, and faith in him as misguided and misplaced. Based upon the preponderance of evidence, the assertion that "God is imaginary" meets the reasonable person standard for proof and has withstood the test of time for thousands of years.

Answer 2

YES!

Faith is Faith pure and simple there is no gray it is black and white. So yes you are faithful to your beliefs if you are practicing atheist and that is why it makes you be of Faith the same as a Christian for their Faith is their strong devotion in the belief of it rather than the disbelief but you can still have faith in the fact you disbelief as well that is only logical and of common sense.

I say for certain!

Answer 3

Of course. We were given free will for a reason. But your beliefs are not based on fact, only faith. I suppose you have more faith then myself, as a Christian. The proof of God and his Son is mountainous. I'll pray that you can see it someday.
To the atheists: go ahead and give me thumbs down. I didn't call her names or rant she's going to hell! What would that prove besides the favorite claim that all Christians are judgemental hatemongers? I am neither.

Answer 4

No, it does not because you mis-understand the concept of faith. Not only is faith cognitive, it also has an ineliminable emotional dimension: trust. So, faith includes both a notion of belief and a notion of trust. What object, in your estimation, is the trust of faith pointed to?

Answer 5

I guess that depends on what you mean by valid.

If you mean will it provide you with the means necessary for salvation in the Kingdom of God. I would think the answer is obviously its not valid.

If you simply means its a point of view you are allowed to have... then i suppose it would be valid.

Like i said it has everything to do with what is valid.

Answer 6

Yes, both being invalid.

Faith is the belief without evidence. If you believe without evidence, how can that be a valid belief?

In order to be valid, the belief must be backed by objective, verifiable, validatable evidence. Beliefs backed by evidence cannot be belief based on faith.

Answer 7

No, because yours is based on a lie.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (King James Version)

3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Answer 8

What you have is not faith, rather a lack of faith. Let the truth be told and the light to shine that no man will enter the kingdom of heaven except through Jesus Christ, so I paray that He will bless you and send the spirit to you

Answer 9

No, God is known to you instinctively, for he put he knowledge of himself in your heart before you were born. You have deliberately chosen to believe lies. Romans 1:18-32 in the Holy Bible explains it better than I can.

Answer 10

in light of the non=existence of any and all empirical data to show that a god might exist, your faith is superfluous
