It would seem that having a lot of faith is the act of tenatiously rejecting reality. You walk out your house without an umbrella even though you've got big gray clouds in the sky. Is this faith?
If I keep telling myself that something unlikely to happen will, does that constitute faith?
When does faith become stupid? When do adults take responsibility for their own lives? Does someone who believes they can walk on water have more faith than somone who believes they will pass a test?
I remember being in a restuarant and a man came in and said he was a man of faith. He had an incredible sense of superiority. It's sad that a bold statement like that can be said with such gusto in 2014.
I think faith is directly proportional to irrationality.
Hebrews 1;11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
