Whats wrong with haveing faith?

Answer 1

Nothing is wrong with having faith. It's a good thing to have.

Answer 2

Nothing wrong with having faith, but it can depend on what or who you have faith in. Most normal people who have a faith in a religion are fine, and they respect other faiths and opinions, and dont force themselves on others. But faith can be dodgy in the wrong hands, and it is those people you need to watchout for. But if you want a religious faith to believe in, do you research on that or other faiths, find out where it comes from, if its a hotchpotch of others or long standing, and do yourself justice by researching the other opinions, to make an informed choice about faith, try Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris. After all if you are going to believe in something, you need to make an informed choice, but in itself having faith is fine and often very worthwhile.

Answer 3

There are two catagories of faith:

Blind faith

And reasoned faith.

Blind faith is ignorance. Because of free will, one has the choice to live in ignorance or to seek the answers and build their faith.

Faith without works is useless. Works without faith is selfish, for piousness for self gain is not true piousness.

There are many truths that cannot be proved by physical science or by arguing with logic that lacks the correct perception. Faith must be reasoned, and so knowledge provides the basis for reason. That is why people study scripture, for that is God's knowledge.

One can use science in the study of the material world, but not in the study of the spiritual world. What your senses cannot see can only be perceived by reason. Then one can have faith.

Answer 4

A lot.

Faith is a funny thing. Faith is when you believe in something without evidence or in spite of evidence to the contrary.

Faith is an epistemic term, it's a way of acquiring knowledge that rationality couldn't acquire. This presupposes that rationality is some how deficient when it comes to certain types of knowledge.

The problem is, then, how do you decide that reason wont work for a certain type of knowledge?

Generally when something isn't rational, we call it irrational, colloquially we use this term to mean "false."

So, then, it would seem that faith would be the way of claiming true what rationality has found to be false.

This doesn't seem wrong to you?

Answer 6

Too many people rely on blind faith to solve all their problems or give them all the answers.

Answer 7

faith is believing something to a degree beyond which is warranted by evidence. it's just not a good way to make decisions.

Answer 8

Faith is emotional. It is fun, it is happy.
Religious belief is emotional, and it makes you feel good.

Jesus may not be real, but believing in it is fun; also it can make you think you're better than others, and that's always nice to have.

Answer 9

We can do very little with faith...We can do NOTHING without it..

Answer 10

Um, let's see, faith means acting as if you have knowledge when you don't, or believing with inadequate evidence, which leads people to do things they wouldn't do if they relied on real evidence, which leads to suicide bombers, etc.

DUH!
