>>>>How does having faith, oh, let's say having faith that a family member is speaking the truth.... Nothing other than the notions in "faith", how does that do anything at all for insuring survival....?
Because it allow us to make decisions without having all the facts.
>>>>Who says faith and doubt are so closely knit together as some kind of "law", like you are making them sound....?
They are two sides of the same coin IMO. If a person knows something is true, they don't need faith to believe it is true. If a person is unsure, automatically, faith and doubt are created. They are choices which are constantly being made. A person may choose to follow their faith in something, but that does not mean the doubt is erased. Each time they affirm their faith, they are dealing with doubt.
>>>>Or, are you trying to say that subconsciously, you believe that people doubt everything that they have faith in....?
I doubt everything I have faith in. The only difference is that I don't mind doubt. If I seek to avoid doubt, I'm only placing it in the shadows, and I'm doing so out of fear. It's a good idea to question the beliefs I want to lean towards out of faith. The more sure I am something is true, the less faith -and- doubt I experience. The more sure I am something is false, the less faith and doubt I experience.
