"You have faith that the sun will
rise and set. You have faith that tomorrow, you'll wake up to face
another day.
You have faith that your heart and lungs and brain
and other organs will continue to work for you this day."
Me:
Yet another ridiculous statement from a
believer, with a desperate attempt to prove faith to have any
rational validity.
I can not know for absolute certainty that
the sun will rise tomorrow, I can't even know (for its absolute
semantical meaning of the word), that I'll be alive in 5 minutes
time. Do I think that I'll be alive tomorrow? Unless my empirical
knowledge and rational thought tells me otherwise, then yes. (for
example, that I know that I have a terminal illness, that only grants
me the certainty that I'll live one more day).
Instead of believing that I'll live to see another day, I confirm to a
certainty.
That's the difference between believers and
free-thinkers/rationalists; instead of believing something to be
true, we test it beyond doubt, leaving the untruths behind!
The believer is truly blind of the reality that surrounds him.
