Classic strawman argument. No one seriously believes that there is some “invisible man in the sky.” it is much more profound than that and anyone who believes in a creator knows this. And when it comes to your “stone tablets” strawman, he asked about faith, not religion. There is a huge benefit to faith. One of the most obvious and simplest forms is the fact that a placebo drug can work almost as effectively, if not as effectively, as a real drug simply because of belief. This can translate into many facets of life
You're gonna have to be a bit more specific on what you're calling a strawman, chief.
You're playing semantic games, as your particular mental disability is oft to do, so lets be very clear.
I thought I made it pretty clear. You are blatantly misrepresenting the subject matter at hand. He is asking about faith and your answers talking about invisible men in the sky and fighting over which stone tablet is correct. Any moderately intelligent person knows that faith/ belief and religion are two different things, and he even made the distinction between God and faith in his initial question.
Faith in what, exactly, my good sir?
Let me make myself perfectly clear. Please do not stoop so low as to confuse misrepresentation with disdain.
