We wouldn't post unless we believed (had faith) in the worth of our thoughts. Isn't justified belief similar to laudable faith? Faith simply has certain negative connotations.


That we believe that our thoughts are justified does not mean that they are justified.

@cut2thepoint,
"Blind Faith or Following Truth?"

Note the word "follow" there. Who or what is this "Truth" guy/entity? Why such faith in the value of this Truth? Are we follow tautologies like "2 +2 = 4"? Are we following Plato's Ideas? Are we following the paperwork issued by universities? Are we following the advice of doctors?

To quote the guy who nailed up Christ: "what is truth?"

@cut2thepoint,
Belief/faith is for those who are afraid or not ready for the truth and to seek it. By following each truth you find inside and outside yourself and your existence, you will find the ultimate truth that you are only consciousness that was created by God.
