There is no reason whatsoever to accept such an idea. If not, then you're just making much ado about nothing. I don't think so. If you have no evidence for your positive existential claim, then you have nothing. Fruitless defenses of such claims are a waste of time and effort.
Freethinkers reject faith as a valid tool of knowledge.
Faith is the opposite of reason because reason imposes very strict limits on what can be true, and faith has no limits at all. A Great Escape into faith is no retreat to safety. On the contrary, that it is just as logical and reasonable to believe in God as it is not to has very important implications. If the Bible is inerrant and is the inspired Word of God, there could be no problems in interpretation. Then the same should be true of any other work of literature or philosophy.
