Faith closes the mind. It is pure idol worship.

Faith closes the mind. It is pure idol worship.

Faith is a way to quit using, "God given" power of Reason and Logic, and cause the faithful to embrace doctrines that moral people reject.

The God of the O.T. says, “Come now, and let us reason together,” [Isaiah 1:18]

How can literalists reason with God when they must ignore reason and logic and discard them when turning into literalist?

Those who are literalists can only reply somewhat in the fashion that Martin Luther did.
“Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.”
“Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.”

This attitude effectively kills all worthy communication that non-theists can have with theist. Faith closes the mind as it is pure idol worship.

Literalism is an evil practice that hides the true messages of myths.

We cannot show our faith based friends that they are wrong through their faith colored glasses.

faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)... not a copout in every argument...

I would say all faith, but blind faith and literalism does trap the mind.

No it doesn't, you're wrong

Thanks to all.

I see that believers deny my claim yet do not deny that they are idol worshipers.

You believers also offer no apology against me and thus show that I am basically correct.

If you could refute me in any way, you know you would.

ah no... don't patronize yourself... i see at least two others (besides myself) disagreeing with what you said... faith comes with reason, and vice-versa in Christianity...

Reason and logic do not mix with faith. Faith without facts is for fools and you have no facts that you can show for following what can be shown to be an immoral son murdering prick of a God.

What stops you from killing yourself? Is it because you have faith that perhaps tomorrow will be better than today?

It's deeper then that. We all have an instinct to survive.

But doesn't rational thought supersede instinct? I mean the way that he was writing you would think so. Right?

There's a little room left in the boat for you by the way.

So, you think that people who are of a religion then you live a miserable life? 🙄

Why would I do that? You seem happy with your beliefs, should I coerce you into stopping thinking the way you do?

Did I say that? I'm only making an observation based on the tone of most of his posts/threads.
