What is Faith? And How Does It Relate to Knowledge?

as you have just demonstrated, faith is only praiseworthy and justifiable if the object of one's faith justifies that faith.

Therefore it is not "faith" that directs and strenthens one in his life, but rather the object of that faith.

If someone's "faith" borders on the bizarre, I can not be supportive of that *faith* no matter how sincere that individual may be.

If for example, someone like Mr Romney believes that Jesus was sexually, physically conceived by Mary through her having actual coitus with God, or if someone believes that God and his wife are on a planet near Kolob having continual sex and creating “spirit babies,” to send to earth to enter into human babies as they are born (which means we are all born Mormons…the Muslims believe we are all born Muslims…do you wonder if either are correct?), or if someone believes that God was once a man but “became God” because he was such a good “Mormon,” or if someone believes that he can “become” a god himself, have his own planet, and create his own fiefdom with multiple wives and thousands of children (but only if he is married with the Mormon Temple rituals), if someone believes there is no hell, but there are three heavens, the best heaven being reserved for Mormons, I do not want him to be the Leader of the Free World, the President of these United States of America.
