A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and an atheist discussed their opposing views on what it means to have faith in a debate for faithstreet.com.
The discussion on the nature of believing, posted Tuesday, is the second installment in a debate series between W Cassity-Guilliom, an atheist, and Donna Carol Voss, a Mormon.
Cassity-Guilliom argued that "faith is selective gullibility, a virus, every drop of which contaminates reason and honesty with the comfortable poison of self-deception."
Voss said that "faith is the willingness to take the risk that something beyond our five senses exists, that what we have experienced beyond our five senses is real."
