So I was chatting recently with a colleague, nice guy. And I was telling him about a conversation with my rabbi at Torah study and how one of the attendees asked how it would affect our belief system if we knew that the events described in Exodus never really happened. And the rabbi said, actually, we do know that those events did not happen.
I could tell that I was losing my colleague, and I said "You think it happened, don't you?" And he said yes, that's faith.
And I thought actually, that's not faith. Faith is when you believe something that cannot be proven true or false. The belief in something that is demonstrably false is not faith, it's stupidity.
