Faith has no use. I could have faith that everything is controlled by a secret pink unicorn, but it'd be silly. And why would I try to disprove this pink unicorn? How could I? You don't see the unicorn because it's all-powerful and doesn't want to be seen, even though it sent its son which is itself to be seen a couple thousand years ago. The burden of proof would fall on me to prove this thing exists.
Quite the firestorm you've started here, fren. I'm not staying my opinion, but wanted to point out something important.
I wouldn't say faith has no use, because that's just untrue. Faith can serve different purposes to different qpeople.
Some rely on faith for emotional purposes. It gives them hope when they have none. It gives them comfort to believe that someone is out there, or that there is some purpose to an otherwise chaotic universe. That's a use, even if you disagree with it, and sometimes its a very important one.
And even to someone who doesn't believe in God, faith is important because you have to at least believe in yourself or what use are you? If you don't believe in the God in Heaven, shouldn't you believe in the one inside of you? Metaphorically speaking. Without faith in oneself, what a miserable individual one would be.
Of course if you've ever been to the atheist subreddits you'd see that faith is very important to them too. Just not in God. But every time I've stopped by there, it's nonstop climate change. They've traded one religion for another, pseudo religion, but faith is still the source of it. As if it were something ingrained in to us, manifesting as a warped version of itself, transforming "science" into a kind of religion into itself and while I have your attention would you like to talk about our lord and savior climate change? Because that's where they're at.
Faith is a powerful and dangerous thing, but you shouldn't ignore it's importance, or else you might wake up one day next to a fedora.
That's one hell of an "if". I'd like some convincing evidence that any other supernatural realm exists in the first place.
if you could prove it what would be the use of faith? how about you try to disprove it?
