(quote)Secondly, you're confusing faith and trust.(/quote)
No, I am not. Faith is related to trust and is also based on information. You Trust your Wife and you have faith in her because you know who she is. Why do we say that a wife/husband is unfaithful or faithful?
If you can also have faith and trust in your friend, but if he is a shady individual, he can betray your trust.
You are confusing faith with credulity, which is a "blind faith" that is not based on a solid knowledge.
Now were just mincing words and we're not getting anywhere with this.
You are condescending because you are speaking down to me. (hence the "Descending" in the word condescending) You view what I believe as a "fantasy world" which obviously is not real and that what you believe is actually what happens in the real world.
I'm not "trying to protecting myself" from anything. I can choose what I think to be dark and not dark. That's my personal preference.
Social Darwinism seems a bit fatalistic to me and also involves a lot of hindsight. You mentioned that Hitler got what was coming to him and thus social darwinism did its job. What if Hitler won? Then obviously social darwinism still did its job as the superior people won.
What about the subjugation of the indians by the americans and of all of south america by the spanish? Obviously those indiginous people were genetically inferior and the superior races won out and thus social darwinism wins again!
And memo to techmo bowl guy:
I never actually saw V for Vendetta.
