信仰不就是一种迷信吗？理性的人不需要信仰。
Isn't faith just superstition? Rational people don't need faith.
简答 Short Answer
基督教信仰不是盲目的迷信，而是基于证据的理性信靠。事实上，每个人都靠「信仰」生活——你信靠理性本身就是一种信仰。
Christian faith is not blind superstition but rational trust based on evidence. In fact, everyone lives by faith — your trust in reason itself is a form of faith.
详细解答 Detailed Answer
圣经中的「信仰」（pistis）不是「不顾证据相信」，而是「基于证据的信靠」。希伯来书11:1说信仰是「所望之事的实底，未见之事的确据」——这是一种有根据的确信。
讽刺的是，声称「只相信理性」的人其实在做一个信仰声明——因为你不能用理性来证明「只有理性才是获取真理的唯一途径」，这是一个循环论证。理性主义本身依赖于无法用理性证明的前提。
基督教信仰有丰富的理性基础：宇宙的起源、生命的设计、道德的客观性、耶稣的历史证据、教会的持续存在——这些都指向信仰的合理性。
Biblical 'faith' (pistis) is not 'believing despite evidence' but 'trust based on evidence.' Hebrews 11:1 says faith is 'the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen' — it's a well-grounded conviction.
Ironically, claiming to 'only believe in reason' is itself a faith statement — you cannot use reason to prove 'reason is the only path to truth.' That's circular reasoning. Rationalism itself depends on presuppositions that cannot be rationally proven.
Christian faith has rich rational foundations: the origin of the universe, the design of life, the objectivity of morality, the historical evidence for Jesus, the endurance of the Church — all point to the reasonableness of faith.
