No mixture of Faith and Reason

[banderson]

A professor at a NC university recently (within the last week or so) stated to their world religions class that faith and reason do not go together (or something to that effect). This was said to the entire class while chiding a Christian student.

Seems like an uphill climb to regain not only a Christian mind, but any mind at all.

This mentality, separation of faith and reason, is so axiomatic in our culture it is hard to know where to begin to take it on.

People have used reason since the beginning (Adam and Eve come to mind) to justify their anti-God positions. Simple faith in God seems to get people further in the right direction. Am I wrong?

Harry McCall at 10/31/2008 in part says:
"The apologetic defense of religion is so illusive and illogical that it is a basic mental default; a remnant left over from the mystical and superstitious childhood years fed and modified by the professional (paid) clergy. The rush to lock a young mind into a god complex is the main goal of all denominations, sects and cults. The old Catholic maxim “Given be a child to the age of twelve and I’ll give you a Catholic for life.” can also be seen in fervent missionary movements especially in the LDS Mormons, who, like the Blues Brothers Jake and Elroy, are “on a mission from God”."

Me - Pretty interesting and just a little on the cocky side. Particularly considering his lack of actual response or explanation as to why apologetics fails.
It does raise an interesting point however. Should we want our children to consider a religion to be true just because they have been accepting of it in their younger formative years. If we say yes, then we have can give no criticism to the LDS Mormons, et. al.
