Faith is not uprooted by dialectic proof; it must already be deeply shaken by other causes to be unable to withstand the shock of argument.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Faith itself is a horrible mechanism that stunts the growth of ideas. It also stunts the act of questioning, and it does this by pushing the idea that you have to have faith - and that nothing has to be proven.
Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.
Faith is not contrary to reason.
Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.
Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.
Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.
Faith is not trying to believe something regardless of the evidence. Faith is daring to do something regardless of the consequences.
