I haven't met anyone who only believes in absolute fact. We all rely in faith in one form or another. Examples can be very simple: I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow, but I don't know this will happen as an absolute fact. Many Darwinians believe that evolution is a fact, but if it were, it wouldn't still be called a theory after all these years. Bottom line, it is just a guess that many have faith in. Good luck with your own Dogma and sheer stupidity.

Do you experience that it extremely is our accountability to steer everybody to the fact? If sure, you're doing precisely what atheists attempt to do while complicated non secular ideals. i'm no longer so cruel to get rid of a few baby's walker, and that occasion has little to do with the truthfully question. i think that it extremely is a tragic factor for somebody to spend their lives in devotion to something that doesn't exist. It makes their entire lives almost meaningless, particularly people who alienate others in want of their faith. It does not subject me, although, only as i could help an injured man or woman i did no longer understand, i'm form adequate to attempt to maintain you from dropping your existence. i do no longer think that faith is a crutch for the susceptible, yet I do have self belief that faith is not any course to certainty, and not something will come of it. I purely decide directly to assist, why turn me away?

It takes more faith to believe we are all here by accident and that from one cell, our bodies can be formed and given intelligence -though questionable on R&S sometimes- and that it is biologically the same for every human even though there are outward differences.
It takes faith to believe that it all started from a pile of goo or ooze or whatever, and that came from an explosion of nothingness and turned into the perfect balance and perfect function of who and what we are.
Most of what science calls facts are actually theories, meaning they have been tested to their fullest extent and can go no further without *faith* that something may or may not have happened to cause them.

Wrong. Faith is a crutch for people who feel the need to be led in life. Told what to do and how to act. Not able to act of their own accord without feeling guilt.

No. It takes a great deal of strength to believe. To take total responsibility for yourself and your acts and to strive towards perfection.
On the contrary, I think that the "you're only human after all" and "you only live once" way of life is a cop-out and an excuse to not care about your fellow beings, practice "survival of the fittest" and take all you can from others and life in the short time you have between human birth and death.

His strength is made perfect in my weakness. Thank God for the support of the 'crutch' of faith. Spiritual matters cannot be discerned intellectually, nor can faith be explained away by 'logic'.

There is a vast difference between Faith and Religion.
I have Faith...everyone has...including you, in something or other. But for those that have religion, then yes, it is all Dogma and sheer stupidity.,,all a case of accept all and question nothing.

i like the way you put that, 'faith is a crutch for the weak', that is the same thought i have. its not that they believe in 'god' its the idea of a god that provides hope. there is a larger being 'taking care' of everything.

I say that using drugs as a crutch is sheer stupidity.

i don't think so. in the Baha'i faith we believe that science and religion must agree. to me personally that means that we believe in science but at the end someone had to have been able to make it so that if x happens then y happens. just my own interpretation on the belief. independent investiagation and modesty in all things and whatnot :)
