Is faith dead?

[Jeremiah]

Are we seeing the death of faith??

Or

Is there still life in this philosophy??

 

[Storm]

The true root of faith is personal experience. As long as people have mystical experiences, faith will endure.

Faith isn't going anywhere yet but eventually it will be replaced by knowledge.

Do you think that there may be a deeper meaning to faith than just simple belief?

Faith is as much trust as belief. Maybe more.

hi,

this is the last sign of Apocalyps. when there was no one left who has faith on earth, world ends. as it was said by Prophet when gog and magog appear, they start killing believers. when they kill the last faithful person, time and kinetic energy in the universe stops and boom!

knowledge without faith is like a fast car without driver.

I feel that if we classify faith as simple belief than we kill it. I also think that people want faith to be grand but get distracted by the word and not it's intent. People say there is an attack on faith. But I feel that it is the believer that is undermining faith and not the skeptic.

And I just wanted to know if anyone else could see the savage beating faith is taking from the believer like I can.

I see it both ways. Faith is both dying and will endure. I know that sounds contradictory, but I feel like the attitude towards faith in general is a negative one, where faith is seen as an obstacle on the way to "progression" (whatever that is) and knowledge. This is increasing as time goes by.

It endures because there will always be faithfull people until the last day. There will always be people who believe in god, and are willing to practice upon those ideals.

 

[Jeremiah]

knowledge without faith is like a fast car without driver.

I say faith without knowledge is like a fast car without a driver.

 

[rojse]

Faith won't die - people want answers to questions that science cannot adequately explain, such as what our purpose in life is, what happens when we die, and so forth. Faith answers these questions in a way that is more comforting than hard science.

I haven't witnessed the "savage beating". Maybe you could point it out.

Are we supposed to be debating whether or not faith is under attack or whether it is dead or who is attacking faith?

Is faith dead?
It dies with it's owner.

 

[Aasimar]

I don't think faith is going anywhere for a long long time. Doesn't mean I'm happy about it.

 

[YmirGF]

When you see reality for what it is you no longer require faith to discern what reality might be.

Death to faith and the sooner, the better.

considering individual, yes! that's right, we gotto learn untill we die.
when it comes to others, faithful ones would try not to give harm to anyone. yet if one didnot have faith and he had knowledge, that is one dangerous car for people, my friend.

 

[Sunstone]

Faith seems to be intrinsic to human nature. If that's so, then it's not going to die out until human nature changes.

 

[Diogenes]

St. Augustine thought that faith was a prerequiste to knowledge. If you examine the precarious nature of knowledge itself and how it is continually in motion then this is logical. Faith can never really be extinguished in this sense, even within those who claim not to have any.

faith is a prerequisite for everything a mortal does.
