(July 17, 2012 at 6:31 pm)MysticKnight Wrote: Faith in God is knowledge but is not based upon argument or analysis. It "surpasses" the strength of belief given by rational arguments or analysis, and transcends it. However reasoning doesn't contradict it. It is given by God, it's not acquired through analytic thinking.

The fact that dilusion may seem more real than reality, or has been affirmed by an construct whose creation was psychosomatic triggered to rationalize the dilusion, doesn't make it real.
