About This Quote

If you believe that faith and conviction is what really matters then I would say that you missed the mark. The fact that you believe something does not mean that it is true. If we believe in something without knowing why we do so, we are doing so for reasons other than faith and conviction. For instance, we could be suffering from confirmation bias and our thinking process allows us to find evidence to support our beliefs rather than objectively see what is true.
