Of course they do. It's impossible to know whether or not God exists based on physical evidence; that's why religion is based on faith and not scientific research. People choose their religious beliefs, or (much more commonly) have them chosen for them. That's faith.
- humanrebar 10y agoYou make your best guess about whether God exists. You don't choose if it's true. Also, faith means "trust", not "irrational opinion".
- maze-le 10y ago> faith means "trust", not "irrational opinion". Not quite, faith means "trust" in an "irrational opinion". Howerver, everyone should have the right to trust whatever opinion rational or irrational.
- humanrebar 10y agoIf you want to be precise, it means "trust in a person" in the original Greek. As in, the New England Patriots have faith in Bill Belichick. That sort of faith can absolutely be rational.
