Depends. I hate most of the humans I know, so I don't put them ahead of anyone else. Some exceptions exist, but not enough to base a concrete philosophy on.

Returning to topic: A faithful man could say, "God only knows," considering that man cannot. I think he'd be speaking no worse nonsense than anyone else.

'Unchurched': One of the problems with understanding 'across the divide' is that whilst a majority of the faithful have never experienced atheism; the majority of atheists will have experienced faith. I think this usually makes it easier for an atheist to understand what it is to have faith, than for the faithful to understand what a lack of faith might feel like.

I suspect not. Didn't we ban these guys or is this a new troll?
