RE: Debate Forum - Week 7 - Sectarianism and Dogma

in #ungrip7 years ago

I think your key word is 'indisputable'. If a self-governing individual is not willing to be confronted or explore his own beliefs, that is dogmatic much like a centralized authoritarian regime. But now you are into the area of faith. So how do you start to differentiate between dogma and faith?

Sort:  

Faith and Dogma synonyms although not perfect ones.

One of faiths definitions near enough to dogma.

2:strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof.

It becomes hard to seperate the two if we use lower case f its a simple word that we can call a trusting hope e.g. I have faith that my relationship with wife will remain strong as we both work at supporting and encouraging each other even in hard times.

A capitalized F however has a totally different feel moving from trust to Truth.
