The problem with faith is that it has a poor track record when it comes to understanding the world as it is.
The problem with faith is that is has a poor track record, by virtue of who's been interpreting/teaching or retelling it , that I wonder that the original intent hasnt been squandered
along the way in favor of authority? ..and all that that entails.
In the same way that governance has come to offer little else than regulation and authoritative dispensation ?
Overcoming that is going to be Religion's burden if Faith is going to survive. Government's too now that I give it thought.
I can still embrace all the explanations of the physical realm (or not) offered by science while still believing there's a purposeful destiny within/about it ... somewhere , That at its core reflects the intent of its Creator.
There's a three paneled fresco in Sienna's Palazzo Publico named The Allegory of Good and Bad Government , That could have easily been named The Allegory of Good and Bad religious Instruction.
Its worth googling.
