But in all cases, faith works on small scale

so you're saying it's not statistically significant then? makes sense, most farces aren't

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world -4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I mean, true. But at worst, faith worsk as a placebo, forcing our minds and bodies to fight harder for some unkown reason. At best, there were unexplainable cases. May as well assume it's faith until proven otherwise.

In all cases, statistically insignificant xD

No. At worst faith will be the reason a parent don't bring their child to an actual doctor, which causes unnecessary suffering or death of an innocent child. Faith should be countered everywhere and every time.

Didn't think about it at the time...welp, true. Except the countered part.

Nobody should be expected to believe in faith. Religions claim that something is true so it is on them to prove it. But it cannot be proven thus their claim should not be given due consideration. So the assumption is that science is real and religion is not.

We may as well believe in science I guess.
