I asked some Christian scum "Do you understand why faith is not a virtue?" Before I asked that question I showed them a quote from PZ Myers about faith. The answers included lots of bible thumping and lots of stupidity.

Faith, no one word personifies the absolute worst and most wicked properties of religion better than that. Faith is mind-rot. It’s the poison that destroys critical thinking, undermines evidence, and leads people into lives dedicated to absurdity. It’s a parasite regarded as a virtue.
-- PZ Myers, University of Minnesota biologist

"Do you understand why faith is not a virtue?"

Some of the answers:

Biblical faith is trust - trust in God. It means that when he promises something, that promise is trust-worthy. It means that when he foretells something, that something will happen, even thousands of years later. Faith is not a virtue in the sense of giving us merit, for it doesn't. Biblical faith is a gift from God. Those who receive that gift are blessed by it. What a shame Myers doesn't have a clue.

It takes faith to believe that the sun will come up tomorrow. It hasn't happened yet, yet you believe that it will happen. Faith is based on reality. The evident demonstration of realities, though not beheld. Heb. 11:1

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Who the freak is PZ Myers?

A normal person wrote this answer:

Obviously not, since they only have faith in "material" things like raptures, mansions in Heaven, and free passes to stand before a white throne and meet 'the Father'.

This was of course a waste of time. Christians are hard of thinking.
