| (...) I don't want to start a whole big thing here, but I'd take issue with that statement as being too broad and non-specific. One form of atheism--the belief that God does not exist--may require a leap of faith, but that's not the only form. I, (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

| (...) Yeah. It's a massively flawed argument IMO. (...) I'm making the point that atheism is as much of a leap of (not)faith as religion is a leap of faith. Thus although I know that agnosticism is logical (as there is nor proof for or against) I (...) (21 years ago, 25-Apr-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
