So please, demonstrate that faith is a reliable path to knowledge.
I've been asking theists this one, seeming straight forward question for decades, and not one had been able to answer. Including some pretty well known apologists.
Just as a reminder, 1.8 billion Muslims, 2.2 billion Christians, 1.2 billion Hindus, 500 million Buddhists, etc, etc, all use faith to get to their religious beliefs. And we know they can't all be right, but they could all be wrong.
If anything, faith by necessity of what it entails must preclude knowledge.

Faith is when you insist something to be true but you can't seem to be able to determine through reason whether it's true or not.
