Faith, however, is just a belief. If one person claims that something does exist and the another claims that it doesn't, the person making the claim cannot use faith as an argument or to throw extra weight behind his or her argument. Faith, to put it simply, is an emotion. Nothing more. There is nothing supernatural about faith; it is literally one person's opinion, one person's belief. Somebody with faith in a certain thing can not have an objective opinion, because faith is the belief in the illogical, the unproven.

Faith can not be argued against, it can not be countered. But that does not mean it is irrefutable. Quite the opposite. A person's faith can be used to discredit their own argument because their faith proves their lack of understanding, of willingness to base their opinion on fact and logic.

That's what I meant.

Faith is not used to prove anything to anybody....it's not extra weight.

Love can also not be argued against or countered.

how does faith prove lack of understanding????? your using that prove word again.
