"I think it’s a sign of weak faith to try to prove your faith.”
Says Boo Tyson of the Mainstream Coalition.
Not sure how to respond to this. I don't view faith as a leap in the dark. I believe there is a rational basis for my faith which is backed up by facts. I don't believe my faith is just wish projection. Weak?
It seems that Mr. Tyson is trying to say if your faith was strong you would just go away and stop bothering me.
He could say that about any faith or any belief system, religious or not. Your faith in Kenseyan economics is weak because you're trying to prove it.
If my faith, backed with reason and facts, is weak, so be it.
