Is Witchcraft real?

Shakey,

 

Ahh. Let me see if I can sort it into a single sentense or two. I'll cobble it togeter from previous posts in this thread to remain consistant.

 

Faith is confidence or trust in a person or in another's ability using a fundamental principle of belief that is not based on proof.

 

The opposite of faith is indifference.

Faith does not imply a primary or secondary religious connotation. Like many peculiar characteristics of humanity religion borrows our abilities to believe without proof.

 

Not sure if it is worthy of much more than that.

So do you have zero knowledge then Phone?

 

I KNOW that the internal angles of any triangle drawn on a flat plane sum to 180o.

 

I can PROVE this. No "faith" is required.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Cory,

 

See #126

 

Keep up to speed my good boy. Witchcraft is important chit.

 

Your example is a rather arbitrary and capricious law. Laws of nature pose more complex dichotomies (sp?).

Cory, do you have faith in your peers in the scientific world ?

I prefer to see proof before I believe.

 

but what is proof

 

proof can be faked so it appears real but it is not

 

so at some point you have to have faith that the proof you see is real

 

otherwise you are for ever the doubting thomas

Oh ye of little faith.

  • Like 1

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle
