with all due respect, 'faith' is not even an argument. I have faith and believe that my penis is 12 inches long. Therefore it is. The end. I win.
Absolute nonsense.....

what i agree with is that it only matters to yourself. if you have faith in your 12" cock then congrats. i may not believe it but that's my prerogative, as it is yours to believe it.
i have faith that i'm a nice guy, i have faith that my views are correct. that's why i don't like to scream and shout about my dis-belief in other peoples views.

There's no right to faith.
A belief can be false, and a right to faith would imply that it'd be wrong to have a false belief corrected. And that's just absurd.

therefore i offer cake and walk away, content in the knowledge that what's inside my head (which i'm not gonna share with any of you) is the only true way to live your life, and the only belief worthy of wasting your time on.

If you don't fight for your and everyone else's right to intellectual and religious freedom then someone else will fight for the power to tell you what to believe, either atheism or fundamentalism, and if you don't acquiesce then they will punish and/or enslave you.

Lots of nice ideas, alas a few practical flaws to my cynical mind.

What sanctions would you resort to if someone persistently held a belief you believed was false?

I believe I can have my cake AND eat it, contrary to the popular saying, I have visited the bakery successfully many times.
