      First time seeing you personally, but do you at least admit that most of your daily life is based on faith? Ie you trust your car not to blow up, you trust chairs not to fall apart....

      No. I accept that cars blow up and chairs fall apart.

      Well a rational person wouldn't go in a car, or sit in a chair. You have faith that yours are not the defective ones.

      If you can't understand this, imo you cannot say that you understand faith based thinking.

      I don't understand it as you do, no. Faith in God is not the same as trusting that your car won't blow up whilst knowing there's a chance it might. I have done and still do faith based thinking but this is not it.

      I have not mentioned faith in "God" at all, and you have not defined the "God" that you don't have faith in at all. You have faith in things everyday, like you have faith that you are right, right now. In spite of having no reason to

      I'm going to leave it here because I'll only keep saying I am not using faith as 'confidence in for good reason.'

      Why not? You have to leave it here because you can't explain why. You have faith that you've explained well enough despite not explaining at all.

      I've argued about this all day & in fact, for several years. I am bored. If genuinely interested in definitions of faith and what critics of faith-based thinking are and are not criticising, try the introductions of 'Manual for Creating Atheists' & 'Facts vs Faith'

      So facts exist in a world exclusive of faith? How interesting. You're bored, becaause you have boring views that can't be explained. Have a good day, oh faithful one!

      Honestly, they have really clear explanations of what is and isn't being criticised by sceptics under the banner of 'faith' but it takes about a chapter. I can't tweet it all here & I'm no longer interested in these kinds of conversations.

          Ok so maybe the first tweet that started all of this should have read "I'm not interested in criticizing faith based thinking", thank you for wasting my time

          You may get it one day, sir. Until then, enjoy ignorance, and your faith in my stupidity
