I don't know what "blind faith" means. I have been using the definition you provided for "faith".

If your country was, say, 70% composed of believers in an invisible magic pig, and worshipped this pig, and in large part believed an ancient book that claimed that the world was created by this pig, and that the earth was flat and held up on all four corners by slave pigs, which stood on...

I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply. I've been horribly busy at work and on the farm, and also had house guests. Anyway, I would encourage you to apply the "outsider test of faith" on this one. Would you agree that the are people who believe things that are untrue, using faith as a...

I'm curious how you've managed to convince yourself that faith, using this definition, is a good thing. You can pm me if you like.

I say that's a post hoc rationalization. Nothing in what you quoted suggests that, even with some very stretchy acrobatics. Besides, if that's what it meant, then it would have SAID that, and it does not. "Kind" is what ancient and ignorant people used as a designation before they learned...

No, that would be incorrect. I enjoy fiction and non-fiction in many stripes. I refuse to believe that you are so dense as to honestly think that me saying that an untruth can be conveyed poetically means that I don't like literature. No one is that stupid. It is more likely that you are...

Without sufficient evidence, I simply cannot believe that. I would have preferred that you did not quote me a bunch of drivel, but rather said it in your own words and left it at that. I care not for biblical verses.

Irrelevant....sometimes untruths are better conveyed that way as well.

What is "faith"? How do you define it, in this context?

What is a "soul"?

Poetic. Doesn't make it true.

It makes no theological sense. But biologically, it makes perfect sense and is no mystery at all. Hmm.

My point stands. We cannot find common ground because of people who behave like you are.

Thee is no such thing as pro-abortion. Repeating the term "pro-abort" incessantly does not make it true that such a thing exists, and it only shows those of us who do not agree with you that you have zero interest in understanding our position.

No one is pro-abortion. Everyone wants as few abortions as possible. Banning them is not the way to do that. I really have trouble understanding why it's so hard to find the common ground on this one and then do the things that actually reduce the number of unwanted and inviable pregnancies...
