Why is Faith so Important to God?

Religions that don't emphasize faith and conversion of others do not survive and go extinct much like animals go extinct.

That is exactly how it works i think. Christianity advocates a blindly trust. One may not be critical about god.
The best example of this is the story of the tower of Babel; people will be punished when they examine god.

I added "i think" on purpose. Else i would present it as a fact, and i know it isn't.With all respect, but it's not like i know little about the bible and christianity. I've been brought up with it, i've been to courses several years, i've talked a lot with people about it and i'm always trying to understand it and learn more. Of course that doesn't automatically mean rightness but it's not like i've read one sentence in the bible and come here to proclaim things.I don't get why you would judge me ignorant and indicate that i need to learn more (till what, till i reached what you believe?) just because what i say doesn't stroke with your opinion apparently. Instead you could come up with real arguments and go about the contents.

Well you made an unqualified statement, "Christianity advocates a blindly trust." which, while it might be true for some sects, is not true of Christianity as a whole, so it seemed a comment was certainly in order.

Christianity as a whole use the bible, that is pretty safe to say. There are many interpretations of it, and the way i see it is as i said.

Actually, if you read the thread I think you will find I have commented on the topic beginning with Faith is not important to God (Message 3).

With "go about the contents" i meant the contents of my post that you quoted since i felt you disagreed with it. But to discuss on that would probably go off-topic. There's not really a topic on that, is there? Perhaps we can have a great debate thread if you like.
