Can faith alone ever be sufficient?

[Bretton Garcia]

70. An answer to Guil, and the alleged inevitability of faith, belief, even for rationalists

Soph's argument seems useful in countering the claim that, due to human fallibility, limits, all people rely ultimately on some unproven value; or faith, in something or another. The present post suggests that equally, people need many other things as much or more. So even if Guil's claim was partly true, that would still not justify the extreme focus on faith that we see in Christianity.

Faith alone is not enough to get by in life. And many other things - like practical sense - have at least the status, importance and priority, of faith.

So it is wrong to strongly assert the centrality and primacy of faith. As many believers do.
