Is Christianity Illogical?

[spockrates]

Yes, I would be committing the informal fallacy of equivocation if I was using the word faith in two different senses in these two statements:

Scientists have faith in the scientific method.

Christians have faith in Christ.

I can see how you'd draw that conclusion, but the truth is that in both statements, I'm intending the word faith to simply mean trust. Therefore, there is no equivocation.

You are still equivocating by disingenuously attempting to conceal the approaches behind each.

I suppose you might be correct, but my error is unintentional. Please explain how trust in a person is unlike trust in a method.

You still have not addressed my point of your misuse of the word "illogical", both in the quote I cited and in the strawman podition you propose in the OP.

I'm defining illogical as presenting an argument in which the premises do not support the conclusion.
