You're now blind.
You're trying to get hom and you have to find out where the bridge is to cross the river. You ask an honest man who has been going to your church his whole life and he tells you where to go. You decide to go where he tells you because you believe he wouldn't lie to you. You have faith in him. You end up walking over the edge and drowning in the river because you believed he wouldn't lie to you. The man didn't lie, he made a mistake and now he feels bad.

Which would you rather have in this situation, faith, or vision?

Edit: My point is faith is a good thing to have, but you cannot blindly choose to believe in something because that's how you were raised. You need to question your beliefs. If you live by refuting any controversial evidence to your belief then you are very stupid. If you can take all of the criticism and evidence against what you believe in, and attain enough knowledge to still convince yourself that you are correct and what you believe in is right, then you have found true faith. Their is a difference in believing in something just to believe in it, or actually fighting to believe in something. At the end of the day, you are still a better person because of it.

GZento, ignorance refers to the fact that you are unaware of something.
I can say that I am ignorant when it comes to science, because I don't know much about it. It is an antonym for the word knowledge, a synonym for unaware.
"Lack of knowledge or information: "he acted in ignorance of basic procedures"." Saying that you are ignorant about something is not the same as calling yourself stupid.

Edit2: Well I suppose stupidity is the lack of knowledge in a vast amount of areas. Then again stupidity could be ones inability to learn from their mistakes and gain knowledge.
So rather than saying you're stupid because you're ignorant, you would be ignorant because you're stupid.


Yeah, you are actually right, i looked at his original post and realized I made a typo of quoting what he actually said, thank you for pointing that out. and nice sig, Up was awesome, my fav character was the bird

In a situation like that I'd be in favor of vision even if my good Christian buddeh has no ill will towards my well being.

Why do we keep digressing on these massive tangents? I mean, I laughed at the contradictory image of a yellow lab puppy representing the voracious wolf-humanoid that is a Lycan, but c'mon

Why are you asking this when you're religious too?
