It seems to me that my atheist friends who stand on science and reason alone might not have used logic on their own propositions.
Dismissing religion without discussion, they claim that they are totally grounded in fact and reason. No need for faith.
Yet they continually give merchants a piece of plastic believing that the merchant will accept it in lieu of currency, that a computerized financial system will process it as intended, and that by some means the transaction wil…l balance and all will be satisfied.
That’s not faith? What is it? It is not science–there can be no evidence of a future event. It is not reason, for the user does not have all of the details of the process to critically evaluate it.
It is an expectation based upon experience and incomplete knowledge. But, that is exactly what faith is.
The next question is, why would rational people want to deny faith. I can’t answer that one.
