Philosophy - July 2006

Do you use logic, empirical observation, intuition, authority or some other method? Elaborate as much as you see fit, and don't hesitate to share just what you think each of these methods means to you.

Have you noticed that people in our times want everything all at once, without having to earn the right to have it?

Faith by its definition is not an obvious, provible or easy. At least it is an existential challenge. I had a preacher once say to me that having faith is like figuratively stepping off the edge of a cliff. In other words, moving ahead with something very difficult or dangerious without knowing the outcome in advance.
The literal meaning of the written word is more or less considered solid ground. But it is anything but solid. Literal meaning is testimony without proof, unless you believe it to be the word of God, which seems to me to be a leap of faith or act of faith.
So, how is it that traditionalists or fundamentalists are so sure of themselves as to proclaim certainty or absolute truth?

If you don't risk, you're going "I coulda woulda shoulda." I'd have been rich, I'd have found love, I could have flown in ridge lift along the coastline today, or whatever. But what if you blow it? Then it's "that was really stupid, I'm financially ruined, I've lost my love, I'm lucky to be alive," or whatever.
