Coming from an atheist for this reason. Because faith requires you to embrace a thought, not a fact. A guess, not a proven phenomenon. Faith does not allow sanity. It does not involve reality. And in no way does it involve intellectual honesty. When someone can prove that they can touch, smell, see, or TASTE god in some sort of minifestation, I'll believe it. Until then, I'll continue to be claimed ignorant for being "simple minded".

Intellectual honesty is what makes me believe that God doesn't exist.
Wow, that's open minded and tolerant of you.
I don't know, maybe I should get a lobotomy
