Faith is NOT a Virtue FAITH IS POSSIBLY THE WORST OF HUMAN INVENTIONS, FAR WORSE THAN THE INVENTION OF GOD! Faith is popping up all over, in the media and in public discourse. Politicians all need to make some expression of religious faith; the public would never support a faithless leader. We have faith based charities, faith based education, and faith based lobby groups. Everyone from disaster victims to the miscreants that caused the disasters are breaking into tears and blubbering about their faith, and the media and the public is lapping it up. Faith appears to be not just universally accepted, but universally considered among the highest of human virtues. But faith is a scam that asks us to believe for no reason other than perceived authority. As events have shown us again and again in all parts of the world, for all of history, perceived authority does not deserve unquestioning obedience!
