I know that this is not rational in the sense you're asking me about. But so are love and sex and lots of other parts of the human experience; that does not make them any less valid or important to the individual, or necessarily any less true or real. I agree that faith has no part in debates over public policy, but the questions you're raising, and teen rape the comments to which i intially responded, were teen rape primarily about personal experience, and that's why I've responded as such. Peace, and happy holidays veruca. Posted by: veruca | teen rape Dec 22, 2004 11:14:04 AM veruca: But why believe, through faith, that, say, Jesus Christ is the Son of God if the belief of others, through their own faith, that he is not is just as likely to be true? I don't think your comparison of faith to love makes much sense. Love is an emotion. You're not appealing to love to justify beliefs about truth.
