Seventh question: is there a danger with having faith-based ethical
systems?
The seventeenth century philosopher Benedict Spinoza, like the later
philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche and John S. Mill (and even, shudder, Karl
Marx), felt that religion helps to keep confused and/or weak people in
line.
A critical logical flaw - Ferstler can't distinguish between faith and
religion.
I'd like to see any religion survive without faith.
