I would remind you that atheism too is a faith :P

 

An atheist (or a pair of them rather) once told me that agnostic was a coward's way out. A philosopher then told me that it was more than ballsy to not only face that one did not know, but also could not know of the existence of a god. To me, it's simply the most accurate way of looking at things in that I can do most (analytically) with that model.

 

Of course, people generally (I'm no exception) like to find the something "more" than our empirical experience, because we're just limited beings ourselves. I try to straddle the middle ground between thinking humans are the center of the universe, acknowledging our weakness and requiring a dependence on the notion of a greater being. It's not easy, especially the way we have come to think of things. And that's also why I respect faith (and to a degree, religion).
