I totally agree with you, but thats were our standards split. Faith is not for me and that is the point of this discussion.
I dont believe something that I dont know to be true - especially not if its of importance. I do not discuss here to tell you what you should believe, I am only here to explain WHY I do not believe in a god figure.
I set the same standards for everything in life. I always follow truth.
I personally think that humanity should always and without exception do things that way, but thats just my opinion.
Actually, I think you do govern your life with a percentage of faith, daily, weekly and monthly. Although each of those will vary to the degree of how
much faith we are talking about, but there is faith nonetheless.
You believe you will wake up tomorrow, healthy and alive. Do you really know with 100% certainty you will? Is there a percentage chance that you may not? Even 1 in a trillion chance you won’t?
Do you drive a car? Is there faith that you won’t get into a car accident?
Or how about the food you eat, do you know it’s not poisoned?
You might scoff at these examples as dumb things you don’t need faith for, but I argue you have
reasonable faith to believe you will wake up tomorrow, you won’t get into a car accident, and the food you eat is actually free of any poisons.
Reasonable faith is how each person lives and governs their life. I argue there is reasonable faith for the supernatural as well.
