A thoughtful comment from the Latter-day Saint philosopher Adam Miller:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFaith is more like being faithful to your husband or wife than it is like believing in magic. \u00a0Fidelity is key. \u00a0You may fall in love with someone because of how well they complement your story, but you\u2019ll prove yourself faithful to them only when you care more for the flawed, difficult, and unplotted life you end up sharing with them. \u00a0Faith isn\u2019t the opposite of knowledge. \u00a0Rather, like love, faith perfects knowledge by practicing fidelity to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
