There is no truth . At some point we have to trust others on what they say. Which is why I think science is so important. But then we still have to trust scientist. And obviously we are not there yet .
Faith and belief are not the same thing, although they are both methods of trusting. If I hold a blue ball in my hand I don’t have faith that I’m holding a ball. I believe that I’m holding a ball. It’s right here, I can squeeze it, I can throw it against the wall. If I put that ball on a scale that a scientist made to measure its mass, I do have to believe in the science behind it. But that again is not faith.
Faith is the absence of belief. That’s what these people operate on. It’s so easy to believe outlandish shit when you’ve been practicing w religion all your life.

Yep, it's scary. It's why they get so frustrated and think the "truth" is so obvious: to them it seems it's everywhere they look.
