   They seem to have a tough time wrapping their heads around this. Of course, they have faith because it is unverifiable. Sam Harris' eloquent words ring true: faith is the permission that people give each other to believe without evidence. Without that social support a person of "faith" is no different from a crazy person. If one person believes an unverifiable claim based on faith, then we call that person's mental condition into question. If a billion people believe the same unverifiable claim based on faith, then we call it a religion.

   What kind of verifiable knowledge can your faith give? I'm guessing none.

   If you think otherwise; please let me know what kind of verifiable knowledge your faith can give you.

   If you don't have any kind of verifiable knowledge that this faith process can give, then why should I trust it to give me unverifiable knowledge?
