		Andys on July 23, 2008 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask YC: Are you religous? In a sense, it would be very logically unsound to base faith in God on just a book, even if it is "The Book". Isn't it because faith transcends logic and reason? This is my understanding of the word "faith", any way.

Right. It's essentially believing in something because you want to, rather than because evidence or logic points to it. Faith doesn't transcend reason, it is its opposite.
