[snip]Reason and Faith seem to be intimately connected in all of our very human affairs.
Happy Holidays(for those who have jobs)
Hopefully by "Faith" you mean things like our "sense of reality" in our experience, and not speculative metaphysical [non-]entities which are self-contradictory on principle since they are supposed to be part of our experience even though they are also supposed to be de-cis-ively [a cut...] "above" (or at least outside) it.
I, for one, would be willing to greet G-d if G-d came in humility and mutual respect and addressed me as a peer instead of threating or beating up on me (like G-d did to Job, the Master Builders at Babel, et al.).
Such a deity would indeed have right as well as might on His (Her, Other...) side.
I think my favorite Jesus would have successfuly negotiated a lasting peace pact between the Israelis and the Palestineans, and then have lived a long life in peaceful obscurity, thus setting an example for a new social world in which there would be no "famous people" to make ordinary persons feel smaller than they (we) already have to.
In an infinite universe, the center is everwhere and the
periphery is nowhere.
