...I confess that I sometimes find myself praying in times of great fear, or despair, or astonishment at a display of unexpected beauty.”
You know, over the years, LDS FREEPERS have cited probably hundreds of journalists -- journalists who no doubt do a lot less praying that what Krakauer professes above...Yet I don't think we've seen you come forth to lecture them, have you?
So a journalist -- unless he's a religious journalist -- can never be accurate about any story he/she writes?
Krakauer quote: “Faith is the very antithesis of reason...,”
Of course you & I would disagree this statement. While faith doesn't militate against reason, even the Bible outlines distinctions between faith and reason: Heb. 11:1: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Or, My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power. (1 Cor. 2:4-5)
