The past 6 months I've been struggling to put me finger on a bother I could not seem to apprehend. I realized it this week and it's a worse feeling knowing what I thought I wanted to know. Here's the great tension I've been feeling... There seems to be some kind of arguable chasm between intellectualism and faith. For reasons I have yet to fully understand, this breaks me. It's like Neo-Classical versus Romanticism. Logic versus passion. Structured reason and belief seeded in emotional inspiration. The two are so different in my mind it is hard for me to grasp how (if it is possible) both kinds of thinking can rest in that big iconic symbol we call "Faith".
Does a person have to sacrifice faith to gain intellectualism?
I don't believe so, but I have no proof of why.... Grasping at faithful straws.
