Faith, and why Faith is the most important aspect of belief

Whats this anti-faith thing? People dissing on people who believe in things you can't prove.

But i ask, in the end, can you prove anything? How do you know scientests are not making things up? How do you know that, what is written in history, was not the way it went, but instead a collection of fiction novels of the past? How do you know that jupiter exists? How do you know that life is even real? Faith. You must have faith in all off this, as you can not prove it yourself, without having faith in whoever brought you this information.

Whats wrong with people believing in god or gods? What is wrong with someone trying to make their lifes seem worth while? Faith makes these things, wonderful things, possible. So why feel above these people?

What is the difference between having faith in the bible and faith in history? They are both made of written accounts of people we can't prove had anything to with the events written, with little evidence, but enough to know there is a element of truth to both storys. Yet, we have unwavering faith in history and none in the bible. The difference is people are to stupid to understand what they cannot imagine. Thus god isn't real.

Even if god isn't real, why does it matter that people have faith in him/her/it? If it makes their lifes worth while, thats the purpose. After all, their is nothing life affirming about atheism, the believe that life is worth shit then you die. I rather be ignorant then depressed.

Don't get me wrong, i have no personal problem with atheists, but i don't get why someone would chose a depressive theory over a life affirming one, and why people would want to impress such believes on others. If it doesn't bother you that life is worth nothing and nothing comes of life, thats great, but don't diss those who go for the alternative.
