re: #296 c6gunner

Faith without evidence is blind. People here have repeatedly explained that faith is independent from evidence and reason. Ergo religious faith is blind. Are you really going to try and prove otherwise?

I always thought faith was tempered by reason and logic. Reason being the use of the rational, empirical mind not influenced by emotion, and logic being that tool that explores whether and argument is valid or not. Perhaps faith, reason and logic balance one another. I think there is a difference between faith: the assurance of those things one hopes for, and blind faith: an unquestioning devotion to dogma or doctrine. Maybe I’m just stupid …
