That's correct, I was speaking Generally of Theists, not about a specific one. Atheism taking faith depends on your working definition of Atheism. According to Stanford, in the SEP there are different working definitions of the word and it depends on each interlocutor's usage.I've found over the years that many Religious folks don't act from their first Principles. That's just been my observation. Cherry-picked Biblical ethics to comport with the Day's mores...rinse/repeat. Imagine a World with Leviticus as a Lead Ethical System...it would be Bananas
This is typical of every religious forums I've been to (3). Second, religious folks include atheists. It takes faith for what they believe. As for principles, people violate them all the time. All you are doing is spouting generalizations.
