Re: Logically refuting atheism in favor of agnosticism

My real claim behind this is that being an atheist takes as much faith as being a theist.

I was with you until here. The above is just a silly statement. You can look at evidence and logically form an educated opinion. It does not require *as much* faith to be an atheist as a theist. I can forgive someone if they feel 100% certain they were not re-incarnated. Even though they are wrong to be 100% certain. Believing you have been re-incarnated clearly takes more faith.

And the only way this can be argued is if we say they both take an 'infinite' amount of faith or that faith is faith, there is no such thing as more or less faith. In which case, this is a useless point. But yes, I do get it, we must lash out at the atheists. So, strawmen and equivocation seem like great ways to go about it.
