Care to give me an example of a specific thing you have faith in, so I can relate somehow? I'm having trouble understanding your point.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Are you meaning we all have a belief in something as true based upon irrational belief. Like being phobic of spiders? I guess so, but the views expressed are not anti-irrationality, but anti-faith. Faith, and its slavemaster Religion, are a far cry from being scared of spiders.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside? The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic. ― Tim Minchin, Storm RE: Whats even attractive about Christianity anyway that people want to stay in ignorance

No, what he's saying, is that he likes to say things without having anything specific in mind, without any evidence or justification, because he heard it once and it sounded good to him. Platitude. What do you have faith in WW?

"Where there is evidence, no one speaks of 'faith'. We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence."-Bertrand Russel.

The Earth of course, is an oblate spheroid.

Martin Luther understood "faith" even if you religious twats do not.
Quote:Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but--more frequently than not --struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
