That’s just my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback. The Bible does not ask for blind faith. It asks to look at the creation for signs of the Creator. This is what I do which helps with my faith. I still have faith, it is just not a blind faith.
Faith is simply an excuse given to believe anything absent a reason. I take it as a matter of faith that the IPU exists and has my best welfare at heart. Prove me wrong.
There is simply NO position one cannot take as a matter of faith. I have faith that the FSM boiled for our sins.
Prove that wrong.
Ramen.
Faith is the simplistic abdication of reason and the ultimate expression of intellectual laziness.
