I'm not sure if I can agree 100% but I would think faith to be somewhat of an ignorant laziness or something like that.

Your feelings/thoughts please.

It depends which type of faith you mean.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
