Faith and rationality in the words of Langan

**Ostronomos** · 9 hours ago

We cannot attribute faith in something if we do not know what it is. Articles of faith may diverge, but the core remains the same. Logic is necessary in order to identify that which you have faith in.

I lack the needful faith in rationality and logic to adequately explain reality. Understanding is all about experience not knowledge.
