quote: ORIGINAL: LadyDemura quote: ORIGINAL: tamaka The Bible says something about having to have the faith of a small child. Faith is a word that you never hear much anymore. For good reason because people who still believe, are obviously not that smart... or they are and its beyond your comprehension in other words allegorically just because you do not see air does not mean it does not exist. besides you believe lots of things never proven to exist but lauded by science.

(that the God you worship is not a false god) If the ends match the expectation you have chosen wisely.

Well then, on both counts that certainly crosses off the entire list of 'conservatives,' neo-cons, teabaggers, etc., not to mention a good lot of people who consider themselves religious. And more than a few self-proclaimed 'liberals,' no doubt.

ORIGINAL: Kirata Well let's see how smart you really are. The laws of logic which govern the rational universe are immaterial, universal, and absolute. *En archē ēn ho Lógos* Since you are too smart to believe in something immaterial, universal, and absolute, obviously your conclusion doesn't rely on logic.

Ignoring or denying evidence that contradicts your chosen belief is often a big part of faith, sadly.

[8D] (Meaning no disrespect.) You often refer to that which is not visibly tangible as 'imaginary.' "Reason is intelligence taking exercise. Imagination is intelligence with an erection." --Victor Hugo -- Lisa & Cub

FR Fwiw: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1, NRSV).
