Nope, the core concept of Faith has nothing to do with knowledge. You either have faith, or your don't Simple as that.magicalclickThen what's the point of church and Sunday school? Christian private schools? Even talking about the subject in the first place? You are saying that nobody needs to ask questions about how the universe works, or about morality, or anything else that religion attempts to answer?

It's to bring you to a closer understanding of God and doctrine. Faith doesn't require knowledge for the simple fact that if you have knowledge you don't need faith. And faith is the point of Christianity (in this example). I think that came out right.
[QUOTE="Dystopian-X"]I think we have 3 threads on this.GswSirI believe it is some form of punishment. ROFL And yeah, I'm tired of this subject already. It's really not that shocking as others have already explained.
While there is a thread on this already, I'll say this: non-theists spend more time exploring all religions in order to justify their beliefs, theists, on the other hand, generally study one particular religion or doctrine. Therefore, overall, a non-theist would know more about religion as a whole than a theist. I don't see many Christians studying the holy books of Hinduism.FragStains

Yup, they have nothing to do with Faith. For faith, there is nothing to talk about, and they are simply bored.
I agree, they do not try the slightest to convince people and give them faith, church only gives the "teachings of Jesus Christ".
