Hi, I have two questions I'm curious to hear your perspective on. As an atheist born into a heavily Christian family, my one core issue with religion has been putting faith into a power that I can't confirm the existence of. Since I cannot personally say that I have ever had an experience that would prove the existence of God to me, how do you find yourself able to maintain your faith? What gives you confidence in what you've been taught? I've asked this question before, but the answer usually lies at "I just do", I'm hoping you can share more insight.
Similarly, how do you find yourself rationalizing some of the horrible deeds that humanity has committed? Think the holocaust, Armenian genocide, etc. I know that many people of the Jewish faith viewed the holocaust as a test of God, would you agree?
