Hang on, before you point
your gun to my head, you who are not a
fundamentalist and definitely not of a religious
sort, please give me a chance to explain myself.
May be you will not recoil in so much horror and
may be even spare my life. Please!
Let me take the religious
part first. I am devoutly religious, that’s
true. Well, you see, religion for me is
something where reason fails to guide me. That
is what I understand by “accepting something on
faith”, that is, something that cannot be
verified or falsified on the basis of reason.
Religion for me is not simply pointing to a seen
or unseen God, a hydra-handed being or a name
without a picture. True, religion is generally
defined by a set of beliefs, based often on
claims that they come from on high, but this
does not capture the essence of religion for me.
Religion is also often defined, in contrast to
Secularism, as being based on intuition not on
reason. more
