So, DBT uses a valid definition of faith, and clarified which one he intended, but somehow you are still arguing this is a valid pathway to truth, or are you arguing for a different definition of faith as a pathway to truth?



Well, if a Christian points to their religious book, and cites chapter and verse as "proof," then it would only be logical that all other religions could do so as well, and cite their own religious writings as "proof."

But, of course, they claim that only their special book is factual, while the other religion's books are lies, fairytales, and pagen mythology. All things other religions, coincidentally, claim about Christianity.......

Citing bible verses is not "proving" your god exists any more than someone from another religion quoting their religion's writings "proves" that their god exists.
