Please don't suspend or maginalize Faith, for the reasons so well stated at the beginning of this thread.
If Faith is derailing rational discussions, which happens a lot, call her on it (which also happens a lot).
Personally, I feel Faith often points out things I overlook, which helps me to fashion a more comprehensive argument.
Also, when I was in intel in the Army, I studied the strategy and tactics of the enemy. How can we have a better representative of such strategy and tactics than Faith?
(Not that I view Faith as an enemy, just a misinformed soul who needs to examine her beliefs more thoroughly in order to achieve deeper understanding
)
Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.
