Because your second bit doesn't explain anything Rob, b sides that "This is true because I think it is" - You need to provide justification when your doing such a generalization, otherwise by saying "faith is stupid and moderates are doing it wrong" is just as bad as preachers telling you to "have faith because I say so". Do you think it's unreasonable to ask for an explanation? Don't you think people should question even what they hold as the truth?
