Reminds me of an old children's rhyme.
There's nothing virtuous about faith in god.
I say I have faith in my husband. Past experience has lead me to believe he's a good solid loving guy. My faith is just inductive reasoning based on his past actions. But is would be very odd if I had never met him and had to have faith in his existence.
The problem with faith in god is there are are no past actions or experiences to support that faith. It's not faith based on the past, it's faith based on thin air.
Quote:Faith is a virtue.
A virtue is a grace.
Grace is a little girl
Who doesn't wash her face.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
