If it is recognised, as a conscious phenomenon it no longer remains a faith. If you have a crisis of faith it is in the recognition of its limitations. This is absurd, the position I take in relation to is identical to the thing posited .
Faith is in itself and by definition beyond reason.
Faith treated solely as a conscious phenomenon is a faith, which is not my faith, as regards my position, it is a faith, which is not faith i.e. there is only one faith so to speak. God is posited as a conscious phenomenon. My faith is an appeal to God. Here faith is a position taken towards God. Any attempts to define God always fall on loose ground.
