Quote:I once debated with someone who was trying to assert that everything requires faith and knowledge isn't truth. Which is sort of true. But in order to argue this, you have to dispose of our understanding or reality.
A claim to knowledge is a faith position
Knowledge is also not necessarily true Our understanding of reality is probably fine
However, if we are not somewhat humble about our knowledge, all we have become is arrogant. Faith is a reasonable position inherently. If I do not have faith that our orbit around the sun and revolutions will continue every day... then I've got precious little to count on, and am easy prey for death and suffering.
Not so baffling IMO... http://atheistforums.org/thread-2934.html for example.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
