This is part of a post I recently made here.
On Faith:
Faith arises from a mysitical experience. Faith in a religion is due to one's mystical experience in the framework of that religion. Testimony of that faith and of that mystical experience is hearsay. If several mystics write a book about their faith, then it is compounded or second hand hearsay. When translated from one language to another, then hearsay is layered on hearsay.
Hearsay is not evidence.
On the other hand, I don't dismiss faith that others may have, for I have not had the mystical experience. For myself, I prefer to believe that which I can see, what my senses can measure when extended by my instruments.
If faith gives someone comfort so be it, but they should not expect to impress others with professions of your faith by it UNLESS it is accompanied by living a life in a way that impresses others. Of these, there are few. In my life I have known only a very small handful.

I have to add that I do draw the line when someone of faith attempts to turn the rubrics of their faith into law.

There is no rationalizing faith, it is toxic garbage.

Faith and belief are certainly the most dangerous cognitive traps . There is nothing more dangerous than a man or women of Faith.
It’s an antisocial mental illness that refuses evidence based thinking in favor of prejudice and dogma.
Doubt ! Doubt everything and demand evidence , and even when the evidence is useful continue to question.
Right?
That’s us at our best!
That’s what drives our creative and inventive capacity .

I find faith comical in a sad way. Never had faith in my life.

It's a great song. RIP George Michael.

this is a dense read, actually gets better in the second half, but here is a quote from the top; "The verb πειθω (peitho), to persuade, denotes a collective synchronizing of wisdom and the ironing out of wrinkles in a society's continuum of understanding. It does not describe someone preaching and the rest listening, but people conversing in a verbal economy and achieving a unification of minds (ACTS 17:4) into a mutual identity to which everybody can relate"

I always think of this quote:

Faith is Belief without Credible Evidence. I'm not a fan.

I don't - usually have the word faith in my personal vocabulary and can't remember a time when i actually used it at all except when I had a friend who was saddled with all the names

'Faith Hope Charity Wise.'

But what use is Faith ? If you have faith that a chair will bear your weight and then it doesn't and you hurt yourself its the same end result as you not bothering with faith.

Well I guess it would be nice...If I could touch your body, I know not everybody, has got a body like You o oooooo...Baaaby

Faith, she's a nice girl but I haven't seen her recently.

I have no faith in religious faith but I have faith in myself, in my family, in my doctor, in the man who services my car and in the many friends I am lucky enough to have.
