hope withers in the face the evidence. will it be good and succesful? add up the factors, and come to a reasonable conclusion.

I think the importance of faith varies from person to person. For some faith is really important and makes them happier while for others like myself faith is kinda negligible. Neither is wrong or inherently makes someone happier or unhappier.

People use faith as a crutch.

People shouldn't use anything as a crutch when thinking will do.

That is kinda nonsense. You can have shit tons of faith in Santa being real but that does not make it real. Likewise you could have shit tons of faith in essential oils yet essential oils will not help you.
