The incredible faith of an Atheist


Have you ever considered how much faith it takes to be an atheist?
 
I was just thinking that you'd have to "believe" that the universe was infinite . . .even though it can't be proven?
 
You'd have to believe that at some point an inanimate mass just spontaneously "jumped" into organic living breathing material and then somewhere along the line  "jumped" again into a life form with a soul, and then with a spirit . . . .even though it can't be proven? (note:  the chances of all the proteins and amino acids matching together at one time at one point in space to create life is 1:10with 125 more zeros after it.
 
And then at the beginning . . .you have just take a leap of faith and believe that the first piece of matter that started the whole process . . . just "was".     And believe that something just existed and had a big bang one day and started the whole process. . . .even though it can't be proven.
 
You'd have to believe there was no heaven or afterlife,  . .  .even though it can't be proven.
 
All in all, even an atheist has a set of beliefs.   and beliefs require faith (except for scientifically held beliefs from observable experimentation)
 
It takes a lot of faith to be an atheist, more than I have to have to be a creationist, since I can at least have a written record to believe had a history of what happened (not withstanding also a supernatural inward conviction of God's Love for me that can only be equated to a person "knowing" their parent loves them, even though it's not provable).
