Faith
From Atheism
Faith is something religious people use in place of evidence. People who have faith are rarely persuaded to change their opinions by the use of reasoning or logic, and consequently it is the antithesis of the scientific method and rationalism.
The word faith' can be used with varying levels of rationality:
- I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow morning. (Based on past experience and very rational)
- I have faith in the legal system. (Perhaps less rational)
- I have faith in God. (Based on myth and totally irrational)
You can tell a godbotherer has lost the argument when s/he invokes faith.
