Per the forum guidelines, I'd like to stay on topic with this thread and not get distracted into a theological debate.
I have a simple question:
1. Many atheists claim that Christians have a "blind faith" (meaning that they believe something with zero evidence to support their belief).
2. Many atheists also claim that one cannot choose to believe something. Rather, they say that people only come to believe something through the evaluation of persuasive evidence.
Isn't it contradictory for a single atheist to simultaneously profess that both claims stated above are true?
