I've been EvidenceVsFaith for like two years. The rationale behind the name was that it's better to base our beliefs on evidence, than to just "have faith".
The rationale behind my new name is that it's better to doubt things - and doubt those doubts, and so on - than to "have faith" and therefore just trust blindly.
Likewise, just because I disagree with someone doesn't mean I "distrust" them in the sense of being disloyal.
And just because I agree with someone doesn't mean I trust them either. I would much rather agree because I am convinced by their reasoning than "have faith" in them.
