People choose with both their hearts and reason. <BR> <BR>In marriage, the heart pushes one toward the future mate, but where does reason come in? If the loved one is lazy, doesn't have a job or future, does love override reason? Or do we try to balance two opposing ideals? <BR> <BR>In religious belief we also want to trust our emotions--our heart for faith and belief. What part should reason play in establishing faith? <BR>Is faith devoid of reason? How can we balance our faith with rational understanding? <BR> <BR>Or, is religion built solely on faith: faith on the unseen and unknowable? No one has seen a dead person brought back to life; no one has seen heaven, yet the Christian faith is built on those two rationally impossible concepts: life after death and heaven--things no rational human has ever seen. <BR> <BR>Should we dismiss reason and go solely on faith without evidence (Hebrews 11?) Or should we "reason together" and approach belief that can be analyzed and explained. Or, is that expecting the impossible? <BR> <BR>What is you faith and belief built on? And is it rational to the non-believer, or should it be?
