I have faith that Jesus is our Savior.

That's not refusing to believe the truth.  Those who don't believe in Him have faith that He wasn't out Savior.  See how that works?

Faith is an easy way to give you belief in something that doesn't exist, yet it makes you feel better about the life you live...since you have "faith"

I don't have faith that Jesus isn't the Son of God, I just don't have an active belief that he is. I acknowledge that he could be.

But we don't KNOW that it exists or not, we have faith in it and believe in it.  YOU have faith that it doesn't exist.

I find it foolish to have faith in something just to justify living as such.

You say I have faith he doesn't exist...but when I think of faith, I associate it with the strong belief, the unnerving belief in a high being. I don't go by the dictionary terminology because quite frankly, I don't see it fitting as I'm seeing the situation in my mind.

Why do you think we all just live for what we have faith in?  I can believe He is our Savior but I don't need to live my life based on that little thing.

You have STRONG and UNNERVING belief that it is not true.  How is that any different?

I dont see the point in having faith

There is no proof that Jesus was anything supernatural so I don't think he was

And If God can forgive murderers, surely he can forgive me for not believing in him

I see your point. I'm directly relating the situation to those people who do let it seem to stitch the very fabric of their lives.

And who says I'm that strong about believing he doesn't exist? I have my reasons for not believing in him. It's a troublesome concept that I don't wish to discuss.
