If you think that your belief is based upon reason, you will support it by argument, rather than by persecution, and will abandon it if the argument goes against you. But if your belief is based on faith, you will realize your agrument is useless, and will therefore resort to force either in the form of persecution or by stunting and distorting the minds of the young. This is for my Phil class, Do you believe this to be true? if yes ,why? and if no, why? Please take into account world history. Thank you.
