Thread Name: BS: is it ever wrong or weak to be agnostic
Subject: RE: BS: is it ever wrong or weak to be agnostic
Stilly River Sage told us, among other things in a long, well-thought-out post:
faith: a rational attitude towards a potential object of knowledge which arises when we are subjectively certain it is true even though we are unable to gain theoretical or objective certainty.
If that is the case (and I'm prepared to accept it as a good definition), then I guess by faith I am an atheist. But intellectually I quite often question that faith's basis.
