A man needs faith to continue leading a meaningful life.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

(Matthew 4:4 KJV)

You could say that about all of them if you are gullible enough.

Just to recap, for my own sanity:

The world is billions of years old.
Evolution is fact not fiction.
God is fiction not fact.
Hell does not exist.
Ikea does exist. (Just been there).
Man did land on the moon.

Man didn't land on the moon.

A friend informed me that they use hippo meat in those products. (That said, he also maintains yoyos are inherently evil).

Apparently some people can get away with calling opinion fact as long as they're not a theist.

In fairness to twhitehead, he did say that he 'believed' they were facts, which isn't the same as declaring them factual. I think, in this regard, Atheists and theists are united. It is 'belief' in an opinion that makes it factual 'to us.'

Correct. Now if googlefudge would admit this, then we atheists and theists on this forum might come to an agreement on at least one issue. 😏
