How will having faith in someone else be MY solution?
Do you ever answer a question that's posted?

You can't get through life on your own, eventually you'll run into a problem that you can't "fix" or won't just go away and having faith in someone else's abilities will be your only solution to the problem.

Re: Religion and Atheism

I dont believe or following anything, a lot of my friends ask "how do you get through life without hope." I find it irrelevant to me being a nonbeliever because i dont need "hope" or "faith" to get through tough times. I respect those who are religious, really i do. I just cant.

Well, thats a bit rude now..isn't it?

Your friends are making assumptions by posing the question that way, no?
How do you get by without hope? What does that even mean? Without the feeling hope at all? Hope for what?

I'd ask "how do you get through life so firmly believing a fairy tale?"
