Why is the difference between faith and willful ignorance?

Answer 1

There's really not one....

Answer 2

Go Adam G!! I call "faith" the five letter four letter word. How do you discuss beliefs with someone who just keeps chanting that you have to have faith? It's the perfect answer when you don't really have an answer. It's a cheap shot that religions use to try to put non-believers in their place. It's how believers justify their unfounded beliefs.

By the way, you've already seen your gas guzzler in your garage when you put it there. Have you ever seen any of the characters in the bible?

Answer 3

A scientist has faith that further proof will be discovered to prove evolution. Willful ignorance is denial of the proof we already have in our own DNA.

Answer 4

Faith is a walk in the light of supporting evidence based upon trust in God.

Willful ignorance is when a person has something proved to them and they choose to believe something different. It's like the idea that humanity started out as inanimate matter and the magic wand of chance caused chemicals to combine into organized structures that just came alive all by themselves and then random bolts of radiation added massive amounts of complex coded information to the organism's DNA and due to the cancelling out of mistakes by the god of natural selection humanity was "created".

What a sad joke. It's no wonder so many people don't consider human life to be anything special because they persist in their willful ignorance of the reality of a divine Creator.

Professor Richard Lewontin, a geneticist and author of a number of books on Darwinian theory, illustrates the implicit metaphysical starting point of the evolutionary dogma. Even when the facts point away from a certain scientific explanation for a given theory, evolution must be followed because the materialistic religion of Darwin must be protected against any Divine intrusion:

"We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."

Answer 5

Faith is a persons capacity to believe without proof or evidence. Willfull Ignorance is lack of understanding and knowledge.

Answer 6

faith many times is attributed to childhood indoctrination. In which case it's not really willful . . more like conditioning.

I'd say willful ignorance is more for the adults trying to find religion

Answer 7

Faith is something you feel in your soul. Willful ignorance is something you feel in your head.

Answer 8

Faith is believing in things yet unseen.
Example: Your gas guzzler is in the garage? right? (mine is) lol
Well, you don't "see it" But you have faith and a belief it is there.

Willful ignorance is your choosing not to believe the nose on your face.

Answer 9

Faith sounds prettier.

Answer 10

None really.
Willful ignorance is an act of Faith too.
Faith in SELF and how nothing bad will happen if you do that.
Everyone walks in Faith. Some people have faith in what they fear.....some people have faith in themselves, some put their faith in God.....some put their faith in their spouse or mother or brother or friends. The end result will tell you if you were right or wrong about what you put your faith in.

Answer 11

The spirit that talks to me isn't/does not declare to be the Christian god. He instructed me "Jesus Christ never existed." I take that to propose that Jesus could have. yet no longer Jesus Christ. And he has reported "Jesus Christ has no authority over me. He additionally say's that there is a 2nd spirit in me with him. considered one of them is my soul, he and that i are inseparable. the different is the 'demon'. i think that it is real for each guy or woman. And that each and each faith that doesn't say it is misguided with regard to the god. whether their concepts are appropriate. Yep. i think of that they are all incorrect. each and every faith is misguided. This spirit instructed me that everybody is 'going to heaven'. Even the worst human beings. It only happens in yet in a various way for each persons. He instructed me it is to be interior the flesh. i do no longer understand the way it is accessible. no one is hated. only habit. yet.., the demon? he's not in basic terms the only that tempts..., it is not because of the fact he needs us to do something to chop up us from God and deliver us to hell.. it is because of the fact we could desire to try this stuff, each and every from time to time. we get talked into our very own concept. So.., they share interior the blame. The stuff they arise with isn't out-of-the-blue. That spirit, the demon, is in us and has been our finished existence. Figuring us out. He additionally teaches us our training. If we don't care approximately different persons's emotions as quickly as we 'offend' different persons? Then he won't care approximately our emotions while he's coaching us our training. it is not hell. that doesn't exist in accordance to a minimum of one spirit. possibly he's mendacity to me extra suitable than i understand. Blind faith is that in case you have been to act on what I only instructed you. (it isn't any longer mandatory, BTW). Willful lack of information is that in case you brush aside what I reported devoid of care.
