Faith and Reason

Faith and Reason

True Science and true Religion are not opposed to each other.  All truth is part of the whole Truth!

To reject either Faith or Reason out of hand, without a deep and thorough study, is to embrace ignorance! 

The more that people of good will – from the perspective of Faith or from the side of Reason – honestly seek the fullness of Truth, the more our society will benefit from the natural union of these intellectual twins

Discover Beauty-Perfect Truth

In fact, we accept ‘on faith’ much of what we’ve learned about science from others! Faith is necessary in life, it is natural, beautiful, powerful and inspiring! True Faith can lead us to answers for which our human hearts long!

Challenge Modern Beliefs

We find today a number of popularly believed notions that often go unchallenged. Let’s take a brief survey – and challenge – these ideas in an imaginary dialogue between two people.

“YOU CAN’T LEGISLATE MORALITY.” Ok, then I can kill you! “No!” Why not? “Because killing is wrong!” Oh, I thought you said that morality should not be legislated? “I see your point…”

In fact, all legislation is based on moral values! The real questions are, what values are proposed, and are they truly just?

“THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTE VALUES.” Do you mean that -absolutely?

Think about it. Regardless if the first person answers “yes” or “no,” the contradiction in their belief is revealed. People who hold to this false notion ironically deny the existence of absolutes, absolutely! 😉

“WE MUST BE TOLERANT OF EVERYONE’S BELIEFS.” Ok, I believe you should immediately sacrifice yourself on a raging fire. “No, wait!” Why? “That would be wrong!” I thought you said we must be tolerant of all beliefs?

Clearly, not all beliefs are sound. A true Christian is taught to love the sinner, but to recognize and hate the sin. We can and should accept a person, listening honestly and respectfully to their thinking, while recognizing errors (see Mt. 12:33-37) and pointing out dangerous thoughts. Practicing total tolerance leads to total anarchy; the end of civilization.
