Reasoning the faith
<div class="text-justify">Some believe that faith is irrational, that a set of spiritual beliefs are always alien to reason and that it is rather lack of reasoning that leads us to have faith in spiritual things but they are totally wrong.</p></div>

> I'll try not to make it too deep or too boring, but since it's serious, don't make too much demands on me. XD.

<center>[![](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1521649010/kgevatbaxqs5uslynjoi.png)](https://www.taringa.net/posts/info/19718081/El-Ateismo-no-es-una-religion.html)<a href="https://www.taringa.net/posts/info/19718081/El-Ateismo-no-es-una-religion.html"><strong>Origin👆</strong></a></center>

<div class="text-justify">We begin with the existence of theology, which is simply science, study or the set of knowledge we have of God. And I am not talking about the study of catechism or the Bible alone, but about the foundations and dogmas of faith of each religion.

The most widely written religion (believers and non-believers alike) is Christian-Catholic. Its members designed what we know as the "scientific method" used and polished over the years by all scientists in all fields of study (although many do not like it). 

---
<center>
> An example of a Catholic scientist is "Bishop Albert the Great 1193-1280 (or the Great) who, in addition to being a theologian and philosopher, was a geographer, astronomer, physicist and chemist. His works also include treatises on logic, metaphysics, mathematics, medicine and animal physiology. His method consisted in the observation, description and classification of the phenomena studied,** opening the door to future work, thus considering him to be a precursor of scientific progress." [Source: Wikipedia](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iglesia_cat%C3%B3lica_y_ciencia)
</center>
---

<div class="text-justify">In every religion or belief the same method of studying the basis or arguments of its faith is applied, and it is not a study to show whether its god or gods (or in what they believe) exists, but on what basis in terms of reason are those foundations; <b>are their ideas contradicted? Do they go against reason, reality, morality, life? </b> Obviously, we also rely on philosophy for this study, comparing it with other pre-existing ideas and questioning various aspects of the affirmations of the faith that we want to study.</p></div>

https://steemitimages.com/DQmT9UM1gypdPUi5NkFGdrKHquMD6VcK756fZQWqypmJL6z/Separador%201.1.png

<div class="text-justify">We all do this in an empirical and imperfect way because <em>we find it difficult to separate the sentimental part that surrounds us from our faith,</em> but from the point of view of reason I see 3 currents, rational faith, irrational or superstitious faith and atheistic faith.</p></div>
<ol>
<div class="text-justify">
 ⚫️ <b>Atheistic faith </b> bases its belief on a total or partial denial of the existence of any god, relying superficially on philosophy and materialism, denying and ignoring and invalidating arguments that contradict its ideas that contradict them but based on incomplete arguments.

⚫️ <b>The irrational faith</b> is based on esoteric beliefs without any theology, primitive and totally questionable beliefs, often passed down from generation to generation, more like legends or myths, things that are discordant in form or meaning such as magic and sorcery.

⚫️ <b>Rational faith </b> offers answers to philosophical questions with solid arguments from reason and even from the humble position of recognizing that it has no answers to everything, that there are things we do not know about God but that we are right about what we know, because science is something that is expanding and growing, they are not static concepts and theology as science is also subject to that norm.</p></div>
</ol>

---
> We know less than 10% of what's in the cosmos but no one can deny that it exists.

</div>

<div class="text-justify">Whatever your faith or belief, don't stop questioning yourself, but don't stop doubting it, but rather grow and walk the true path to God, because through reason you can also contemplate part of that God who has revealed himself to us, above all, don't stop living that faith and question yourself <b>am I sincere with the faith that I practice? Where does my faith take me?</b>

I can't tell you what to believe in because everyone takes their own path and in this journey we are meeting each other and sharing experiences, the same reasons why I chose my faith may not convince you, but that's where the richness of finding God's way through the signs that he is guiding you more than by his own merit is.</p></div>

God and my parents are responsible for my existence. I would not benefit from my existence, but it is the Catholic faith that spiritually and theologically convinces and fills me.

Excellent essay brother, but I guess you forgot to include *(in its own extent & measure)* **Agnostic Faith** in your bulleted points above. *Although I suspect that it may have been included in what you catalog as **'Rational Faith'** ;)*

So, as for ***grow and walk the true path to God.*** Even though I think you may have already seen this before or at least heard about it. Being now still weekend and assuming you have more free time to enjoy it. I'm gonna pitch you this celebrated and popular documentary next. Que sin ánimo de *chalequeo* alguno, estoy seguro de que te va a gustar una bola ver. Un abrazo!! :)

Totally agree with you, I'm a true believer that faith is reasonable and that we can the closer to the understanding of God through reason. Most religion are based in a kind of blind faith but, Christianity I think is not. I think that if our faith is not question and probed to be truth is not truth at all.
