faith provides a framework for beliefs and values that can guide reasoning, while reason allows for critical thinking, analysis, and the examination of evidence. If you have one but not the other you are lacking.

@Drank_Spear Faith allows you to believe hate filled nonsense without evidence....It is what makes people strap explosives to their bodies to murder innocent civilians or bomb women's healthcare facilities. It is what makes Nazis march in streets or causes someone to shoot up a night club because the attendees are Gay....
Faith is the root of all evil.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz That's true, however information does the exact same thing also without true evidence. A person can use tons of excuses for hate but the bottom line is hate a reaction to fear. Now to your point those that hold faith also generally hold a lot of fear but my point is simply that many hold a lot of fear masked as many different things.

@Drank_Spear You are confusing information (which is true and can be verified) with misinformation (which is false and needs faith to sustain belief in it).

This is the result of too much faith being confronted by the truth...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz I've confused nothing. Much of the information you recieve isn't true yet is 'proven' true. Look around you, pay attention. If you believe you have the difference down between information and disinformation you're already lost.

@Drank_Spear Lay off the faith it is a drug that will destroy your mind...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz excuse me? What faith is that?

@Drank_Spear All faith is just a drug that prevents someone from thinking for themselves or examining the evidence...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz You're going around in a circle. You're right back to where you were. I'll assume that's the summation of your point.

@Drank_Spear I am trying to use smaller words in a detailed statement so you can comprehend....

@Lizard_of_Ahaz You're being an idiot. It is what it is.

@Drank_Spear Looking in the mirror of life again are you?...

@Lizard_of_Ahaz another soulless idiot. I see you.
