83. How about that faith can at times be unreasonable.
Or, do you need to have faith as ALWAYS unreasonable?

Example: Scientifically accepted fact develops anomalies. Yet, some turn a blind eye to those anomalies. That is faith: blind acceptance. As the anomalies persist, the faithful are seen as unreasonable. To further complicate this matter, the anomalies are explained as the fault of testers and the original fact remains even more accepted.

Faith may be unreasonable at times, but, never should one think that the faithful have a monopoly on unreasonability.
