Remember, GOD loves truth and logic, but one cannot live by reason alone.Faith is most often defined as a belief not based on evidence or proof. It is therefore not reasonable, since a reason has to justify a belief with evidence. Also, your God doesn't seem very powerful if it can't live by reason alone...the rest of the universe seems to work that way.
Quote:Even an atheist must have a little faith just to get up in the morning to face the day. Do you not have faith that other drivers will not knock you on the road?Again, this isn't faith. I know that the sun will rise/set because we know about the Earth's orbit, and that it has been this way for many many years. The chances of me getting knocked down are also very low, and I know that if I pay attention this chance decreases because I am more alert and I will see hazards. This I know from personal experience (all the accidents in my youth combined).
It isn't faith.
