Religion - Logic or Faith

[diwana]

Yaar my head is spinning. So much debate about the semantics of the word BELIEF. To me it is quite simple, BELIEF is the acceptance in the truth of something when you have not witnessed it yourself. If you are a witnessing party then I do not classify it as belief but rather KNOWLEDGE of whether it is true or not. Now whether it is a belief or knowledge, logic is not the only tool for ascertaining its truth or factuality.

Logical conclusions can only be derived from the acceptance of something as a fact or atleast distinctly quantifiable to the perception.

It depends on how a factual piece of evidence is percevied that makes it either a belief or knowledge. Feelings are not something that can be logically quantified yet we use them as a tool for achieving a sense of conviction about something which cannot be measureably perceived.

Good post bro.

If one has not witnessed something that is ‘blinded’ faith and yes logic is not the only tool to ascertain truth or fact. But the definition of truth or fact is loose also.

Logic can even make someone go stray. Mind/brain and logic are very weak tools.

**In our zeal of proving islam or religion true we start using arguments of logic and science and fall on our face on the ground.

**Either one believes in something or not depends on willingness to believe and not on coercion by logical proof.

**The prophets had to use miracles to prove they were right, why?

In order to combat any logical tool anyone would try to use against them.**
