Faith is kind of hard to discuss because of what it is. I believe the relevant definition is:

Quote:
2. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence
Assuming you don't dispute that definition, I suppose your point could be that there's no point trying to reason with religious people because they believe something without or in spite of evidence. I honestly don't take anything on faith. I believe faith is a naive way of approaching the world. I may have "faith" in a friend because of experience, but that is not the same kind of faith we are discussing. That faith is based upon available evidence. Your faith is based upon nothing but hope and early brainwashing. You could accept anything, no matter how illogical or fantastic, with faith. Doesn't that seem kind of stupid to you?

Oh yes, and also define miracle for me.
