She'd have to put a chip in my brain without me knowing.The founding documents... LOL. Because to be commanded to believe in the incredible tales that were spun in the context of recent events (under the threat of punishment, mind you), or on account of some private experience that an individual conveyed in the language of their favored mythology, tradition, or any other non-falsifiable metaphysical scheme, is not precisely what it means to be asked to give assent on blind faith.
Nice anecdotal and irrelevant segway btw..
I'm coming from the original meaning and function of faith, from the founding documents and the sayings of the founder, not personal opinion, that's belief. .
Goodnight!
That's rich.
Hey, make up what ever definition you like. Write up a Newspeak article.
