Reason and Faith
#7
RE: Reason and Faith
To the OP. Reminds me of the current state of youth athletics in the U.S. We can't officially keep score any longer. To do so would be detrimental to the losers' 'you are special' psychology. Just because you tried and great effort, doest not mean that you are now special and deserve a feast of pizza and ice cream after every game. This fountain of joy drowns my sensibilities. The kids aren't stupid. They can count each goal, each run, each basket, (pick the description of your sport's method of differentiating and insert it here).

Intelligent faith proponents want to conflate the definitions of faith and reason for the simple fact that the faith-botherers don't want to lose the argument. Reasonable people of faith must use reason in their daily lives, they just don't want it invoked when considering the more mundane parts of thier lives.
