  Is Faith Immoral?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when people willfully believe something without evidence, or contrary to evidence, are they neglecting thier moral responsibility?

  so many people say faith is a virtue but i just can't comprehend why anyone would think that.

  It would appear not a great deal.

  Delusion

  1. an idiosyncratic belief or impression maintained despite being contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder.

  You can have faith without having hope, and you can also have hope without having faith. They do not automatically go hand in hand.

  Hope - wishing something is true or will be true.

  Belief - is thinking something is true (or probably true) for a reason.

  Faith - knowing something is true without any possible reason what so ever.

  I don't know what would make a young girl want to be a stripper if she had loving parents, and was raised with values and was not sexually abused. If she is an adult there is not much the parents can do about it, although I guess it raises questions about the parenting.

  That I'm afraid is a moralistic inspired myth. There are many well educated women who are ultra feminists that came from normal families and have never been abused that are or have been strippers

  "The first academic research project into lap dancing has found that, rather than being uneducated young women who have been coerced into the industry, one in four dancers has a degree and has been attracted by the money."

  Dis-Member, then at least a part of me never grew up. My marriage is a November romance and I fell just as hard. Even as my logical side cried for caution, I fell in to the well of emotion. Illogical, foolish, but it worked out anyhow.

  Dis-Member, I have an idea why faith might be more dangerous. Why do you think so?

  When I fall it's with without reservation but tempered with reason.

  Blind Faith is more dangerous.. because with blind love you can only hurt 2 people, the love object and yourself, with blind faith your can hurt yourself and potentially every other living thing you come into contact with.
