It is wrong anywhere and anyone to believe anything without sufficient evidence. Christians hold that their faith does good, but other faiths do harm. At any rate, they hold this about the Communist faith. What I wish to maintain is that all faiths do harm. We may define ‘faith’ as a firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. When 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. Nobdy has any evidence to prove that bible is the word of God. It has to be believed blindly.
Shouldn't beliefs be formed on scientific and logical enquiry? If God wanted people to believe the bible why did he give people the poer of logic and reason? Or is it because he only wants fundies to believe in bible? It looks as if God has not given them the power of logic, reason out and question things
