Ok, this is a very sensitive and controversial topic for religious people and they are highly intolerant towards discussing any and all aspects of this, at least in my country they are, but over here i don't think you people would have any issues.
So, I want your opinions about how you think people define the concept of faith in religious contexts, when they say "you have to have faith" what do they mean? From what I've observed faith comes in where logic fails, sensible religious people try their best to logically explain things, but because they are defending religion, they are bound to be logically incoherent at some point, when all evidence points against them, that is when they say "You need to have faith, for believing in the unseen is a true sign of faith!" Many islamic scholars believe this to be a fundamental aspect of islamic beliefs.
So for me, faith is nothing more than a wild card to replace and cover up logical fallacies and absurd claims, what is your opinion? I'd definitely like to hear the opinion of those who are agnostics and or religious.
P.S
don't give me the literal definition of word faith, i am discussing faith as it is described in religions, especially islam! because that is where i came from!
looking forward to thoughtful responses.
