Read the Book: Peter Boghossian: 'A Manual for Creating Atheists' http://tinyurl.com/SE-PB-AMFCA Johnny uses faith as the foundation for many beliefs that bring him to 100 percent confidence, including the healing power of prayer, the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to people, and the Bible contains the answer to every human question. Although Johnny early on admits that—even if healing events ceased—he would still believe, I found it interesting that our later discussion on his ability to use faith to heal a young cancer patient revealed that his method for arriving at such a high degree of confidence was awfully similar to hope. Music provided by Chet Hovatter. Mistakes: I should have let Johnny come up with an example or two where doubting something proved to have a positive outcome. Please let me know if you notice any mistakes so that I can address them here for self-improvement.
