People who have faith/religious beliefs are self-deluded? Can you elaborate please.

Faith demonstrates a lack of practical and demonstratable logic. There's no difference between faith and delusion because faith is (in harsh terms) a delusion of observable reality.

If the theory of evolution is true it proves that the theory of evolution is true...

They most certainly can be.

Otherwise there would be no need for faith."

You have to have faith to begin with. And practice it

But faith is not a virtue. In fact, I would argue that it is a vice. Faith encourages credulity, ignorance and gullibility and discourages rationality and reason.

I don't agree. I've read bits and parts of the Philokalia and what you're saying is the opposite of what faith produces in the form of virtue.

Thats taking a logic-less leap of faith.
Oh wait sorry i'm hijacking another post now you can rather rudely once again tell me to butt out
That is what people call a cop-out, you know.

The question was directed at Copernicus for specific reasons. You did try and hijack the thread

It happens all the time, get over it and yourself while you're at it.
Its not hijacking the thread, that would be diverting the course of the thread. I simply responded to a post.
Do you only expect opinions from one person? Wouldn't that give you quite a narrow view of the subject?

Then what does faith produce that is a virtue?

holiness.

So, ignorance, credulity and gullibility are holy traits?
If that's the case, then I don't want to be holy.
That is another matter (although not necessarily wrong).
Anyway, you were attempting to refute questioning by appealing to faith as its own answer. And that is a textbook example of a cop-out.
