the examples you gave are of objects not energy...........

[websnarf]

@SamanthaW68 : Which matters how? Credible discussions about energy may only emanate from a voice of educated physics. Is that the point from which you proceed?

Marvelously calm and succinct answer, with all the conclusive accuracy of a Karpov endgame, no?

@websnarf "Trusting that people are *right* is a completely meaningless concept to me." For some reason I find this statement strange. Such that you could never really believe in anything by somebody else's statements.

question 1 "do you believe in God?" others told you about Him

question 2 "do you believe in science?" unless you practiced everything...others have simply told you about it.

[websnarf]

@hexusziggurat : Trust to me is only meaningful in terms of betrayal and expected levels of competence. Obviously everyone has reasons for things, but they are their reasons, not mine.

Trusting that people are *right* is a completely meaningless concept to me. I am unaware of anyone in the history of humanity whose standard of correctness is above questioning. I take as axiomatic that reasons not revealed are indistinguishable from reasons that don't exist.

@websnarf I'm just trying to get a temperature of your criteria. So only "faith in people" ....so would that qualify a persons' faith for God? (as in you trust they have good reasons for belief in God) or more like a "trust" in their actions to do as they say or not betray you?

[websnarf]

@hexusziggurat : My friends do tell me about their beliefs. On the rare occasions where they might I either try to ignore them (sometimes people just don't know better) or I will challenge them or justify what they are saying as necessary. I've met people who feel insulted by such challenges, but they are not my friends.

I have no respect for faith unless its faith in people. Explaining love as a strong personal feeling, doesn't diminish it to me. Explanations don't have to trivialize.

[hexusziggurat]

@websnarf mmm k. Do you get all your friend's to justify themselves to you when they express their beliefs? just curious.....

I see what you're getting at. If you want to express ideas, the foundation of that idea is neccessary as a platform. Though at times perhaps providing explanation could make things like love or faith a bit watery as it were?

[websnarf]

@hexusziggurat : Answers are useless if an explanation is not forthcoming. For me this is a core principle of intellectual honesty. I don't want to know people's positions and *NEVER* have any interest in their beliefs if they are unwilling to provide the justification for their position. If I had answered in the way you suggest, I would consider it a complete failure of intellectual process.
