Why is Faith a Virtue?

Its interesting how, when people such as Dawkins use comparitive symbolism, they always use a symbol of a basic material object that man can conceive...(a diamond or a teapot)Dawkins seems to believe that freedom to reason and conclude is mans most precious resource. While stopping short of equating this with "ye shall be as gods..." I will point out that for believers, God pre-existed all human rationality, so we cannot imagine a teapot analogy.I will agree that religion is a manipulative opiate, of sorts.I will say that for believers, faith in an origin that is higher and grander than human wisdom can be a virtue...depending on the effects upon the life of that believer.Dawkins strong atheism is a virtue as far as it goes...except when he tries to convert the masses. At least he believes strongly in something.

I've read it, Rick. Just because religion can be manipulative and shallow does not negate the object of our faith.Some people don't get it. They think that God is something we made up. (Many gods are made up.) And, NO, I can't prove anything as to why the God I serve is any different.Faith is an acronym.
