Well technically that's not quite right, there was no definitive (christian) compiled source material before King James bible and the translators translated directly from latin using the oldest texts they had available. Collecting all of the manuscripts and scrolls they studied before compilation was an incredible effort that I actually commend them for.
But yes, Faith at its core is a belief without evidence. By mere definition it is ignorance in the modern world. It's what turned me away from the church from a young age despite my catholic upbringing.
Perhaps you meant "as well as" instead of "despite", though.
No, it's correct as it stand. I think you're having trouble reading it?
I turned away from beliefs without evidence IN SPITE OF the fact that I had a catholic upbringing.
Despite. That's how that is used.
Yes "as it stand" is really driving the point home here. My bad, son.
Nah, it's really not driving anything home, stop reaching and admit you made a mistake, it's not the end of the world.
