Defining terms is pretty good way to proceed with an argument, and you've been resisting providing a clear definition of "faith." A practical example: A guy comes to me wanting to wager on the roll of a fair six-sided die. He's convinced that today is his lucky day and is absolutely certain that a 6 will come up when the die is rolled. While I think that there's a possibility that that will be the result, probably it will be some other number. The odds are in my favor so I take the bet. Is this an act of faith on my part? How about the other guy, is he demonstrating faith? If you take the wager... You both are. You both are exercising faith in the next roll. Yours is a bit more reasonable.. But: THE EXISTENCE OF BLIND FAITH DOES NOT NEGATE THE EXISTENCE OF REASON-BASED FAITH. I agree. If you find fake money, that doesn't mean all money is fake. Same with paranormal activity, imo. |
