You didn’t answer my question.

Ok I will proceed, the collecting of stamps is a hobby like playing the guitar, surfing, etc. it is something people do in their spare time away from work for personal enjoyment though some do hobbies for work as well.

So in what I said is being a athiest just merely a personal enjoyment or something else?

I’m sure there’s more reasons than this for calling you a hypocrite.
I'm sure there are; but the two you gave are indicative of the way educatees think today.

You are humorous, I believe you do believe people do collect them in that you have faith that people collect the stamps for a hobby.
He capitalized "stamps." ;)

I've seen many of those twisting tactics, it's quite saddening people can not be straight up with their answers, one diversion after another,
Lol
Is faith in those who collect stamps equivalent to faith in a god?

A person who collects stamps, is having faith that one day the stamp will be worth more for they can not know what it will be worth in the future,

having faith in God is not about collecting God and one day God will be worth more,

for having faith in God is about believing God will deliver on His promise that if you believe upon Him you will get your reward for your faith in the amount of Enternal Life.

Sure. But what do you call someone who doesn’t collect stamps?

Thanks for the post, I've learned something of God through you who haven't a clue He did. God bless my friend

one thing I see you are misunderstanding with your anology of stamp collecting is this,

having faith in God is not about collecting God and one day God will be worth more,

the collecting of stamps is a poor example of faith you are using anyways for it is a hope that that stamp will be worth more one day, that is mostly why folks collect them.

Or maybe not such a bad example, for having faith in God is about believing God will deliver on His promise that if you believe upon Him you will get your reward for your faith in the amount of Enternal Life.
I don’t believe in god/s.

What would you call that?

I know and I hope one day you will, God works through anybody He choses, even a athiest, a nonbeliever. if that day comes and you start to believe in a Creator, then you as well will know what I mean when I say God uses any tool in His tool box for God created them all, you as well.
