(For instance, I have faith my plane will get there safely? No, I want an expert pilot. I have faith no one will break into my house if I leave all the doors open? No, I lock up. I pray and have faith I will heal from my broken bones in a car wreck? No, I go to the hospital. I have faith that money will appear for me? No, I plan and work and save. I have faith that a car salesman will not hide anything from me? No, I get the carfax report. I have faith that my wife and kids will be safe? No, I take steps to try to assure it. I have faith that the sun evolves around the earth? No, we check it. I have faith that everything I read is true? No, I check it. I have faith that ANY OTHER PROPOSITION UNDER THE SUN (OTHER THAN RELIGION) IS TRUE? No, I check it. Am I going to belief this con man on faith? Why not? I have faith that the river card makes me the nuts, so I don't even look at it, I just shove on faith, better yet, I'll just call my stack off on faith when opponent shoves (see no bluff equity there?).) Faith is not a virtue very often, it seems, and it sure doesn't make for efficacious decisions.
Again, I raised my hand in a PHI class one time and proposed faith as one of the inherent goods. Because I had no idea and was indoctrinated.
If you think god set up a system where faith becomes a virtue in that one arena, okay. I mean that sincerely.
You sure dodged a lot pertinent material up above. Let's stop.
