surgical procedure

hypothesis:

there's no such thing as atheism.

backing:

you, and I, are humans.  and as humans, often we hear the bottom line constant that is the phrase "nobody's perfect."

so if nobody's perfect, which is true, then how can a human with self admitted limited knowledge somehow speak beyond their own sphere of influence?  let me rephrase that:

if i am a human and i have in my mental storehouse, say for argument's sake, an extremely generous 30% of all knowledge - i am still lacking that other 70% - YET still staking a claim on the darkness of my (our?) own ignorance by speaking forth such all-inclusive statements as 'there is no god'

In other words, say I enter into a dark room taht i've never been in before in my entire life.  The room is so dark i can't see my own hand in front of my face.  Can I say, WITH FINALITY, that there is  not a chair anywhere in this room?  Or no couch?  Or no person lurking there in the darkness??  I can't.  Flip on the lights and I might be surprised at what was in there all along, for sure, but I can make no authoratative claim on what's in a dark room before the lights come on.  I can speculate, which in theological terminology is called "agnosticism," but atheism is, much to the chagrin of atheists, something unproveable and therefore BY FAITH.

it's funny then.  because the very people who hate me or are disgusted by my faith are often times leaning more on faith than I am.  I feel I have experiecne with a tangible Spirit, therefore giving backbone to my personal faith for my own heart.  They are leaning on their own understanding - not realizing the true root of their argument against faith lies in an argument that is BY faith in itself and therefore contradictory.   That's like pointing  finger at someone, scoffing at them and telling them that they "have no legs to stand on," while they themself sit there, maniacly trying to saw off their own two feet without realizing what they're doing.

or maybe im wrong...?
