Faith is virtuous.

Why should I consider anything the bible says to be authoritative on matters of high moral standards? Also, Pro could have used the rest of their characters for round 1 to actually make claims about whether or not these virtues are demonstrably virtuous, but didn't, so the debate is slightly limited. Let's look at the commandments, which Pro noted in his demonstration of faith being virtuous. In Judaeo-Christian belief, god is making sure that his people are not committing these acts, so he always knows if they are sinning or not. Don't work on the Sabbath, don't kill, don't cheat on your spouse, don't steal are all actual behaviors you have to act on to commit, so god can judge you accordingly. The 10th commandment however, no wanting another's possessions, doesn't even need to be acted on, it is a crime of thought. Punishing people for thought crimes as an ultimate authority is immoral and were it a law in a government, North Korea's people would have more civil rights. Seriously, we have governments with laws of murder, robbery, and perjury, but could you imagine if a government could punish you for thinking something? Even if you were silent about your thoughts...simply your neurons fire and you are punished for your sins. To me, it does not show high moral standard to punish people for thought crimes. Disgusting totalitarianism does not a virtue make. I'm not super religious, but I assume Capital virtues are the counterparts to their sins, but why is chastity a virtue? Not having sex leads to fewer people and more sexual frustration. Couldn't the virtue just as easily have been "sexual moderation" rather than telling people they can only have sex within marriage or not at all? This virtuosity of this virtue needs to be demonstrated. Also the capital virtue of Liberality seems to contradict the cardinal virtue of Prudence...it's like saying "Spend freely and use caution." In which case I would ask Pro which one of those is a virtue? Being careful, or spending freely? If spending freely is a virtue then why should I exercise caution while I'm doing it? Conversely, if I'm consistently exercising caution, why should I spend freely? Is Temperance (self-moderation/sober living) a Cardinal Virtue or a Capital Virtue? If it is the case that temperance is both, Pro should explain why there is a distinction between Cardinal and Capital. If it is the case that it was a typo, no biggy. All of the virtues do not require beliefs based on spiritual apprehension, except for faith. Being optimistic, giving to the needy, being careful, being fair, being sober, being resilient, being humble, spending freely, being submissive, being abstinent, and working persistently all are devoid of any spirituality. But faith requires that you completely and unconditionally trust the authority of these virtues, that you use spiritual apprehension rather than proof to affirm your beliefs, and that doing this is of high moral standard. If unconditionally trusting something based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof is a virtue, then one of Christianity's theological virtues should be Gullibility, or being gullible. Faith removes your brain's filter for false information, because faith requires no evidence and celebrates the lack of it. With faith, you're instructed by your authority to unconditionally trust him without any proof, and this lack of proof is a virtue that you should use to substantiate your beliefs. Substantiating beliefs with lack of proof is immoral, because it is purposefully dishonest. I reject the claim that faith is virtuous, because being gullible is indistinguishable from faith, and being gullible is not virtuous because it recklessly allows for false beliefs. Also, I reject Pro's claim that all of Christianity's virtues are virtuous, because Chastity limits the creation of human lives, and the inability to exercise Liberality and Prudence because of their contradictory nature leaves one unable to fulfill all virtues making one immoral in the eyes of Christianity's virtues. Pro should now explain how Christian virtues are virtuous.
