Isn't faith for those aren't 100% sure?
If they were sure then they wouldn't need faith (?)

Two people is in a faulty airplane. They have to jump in order to avoid to die in the crash.
One jumps with a parachute.
One jumps with prayers.
Who will survive safely to the ground? Who has the faith? On what?

Fear not the one that can destroy the body, fear the one that can destroy the body and soul.

Sacrificing the body but save the soul?
I would take the parachute, the other one can pray. That's what I would choose.
I have faith in the parachute.

You miss the point, not surprising.

Perhaps you could answer this question, why would the person who prays not use a parachute? Is it because there is only one so out of self sacrifice allowing the other to use it?

One survives. One dies. Simple as that.

You present a false dichotomy to fit your limited worldview.

I would say yes. But the order is wrong. One is 100% sure because of their faith.

As the man said, all you need is the faith of the mustard seed.

All you have is personal attack?

Say it isn't so.

Perhaps you can explain why both could not use parachutes.

You miss the point of the anecdote. 'One jumps with a parachute. One jumps with prayers'.

Of course both could have used parachutes, but that's not what has occurred. One has trusted themselves to God and one has trusted themselves to mans ingenuity.

I thought he meant that one without parachute will live forever among the Virgins of the Paradise. The other one will land safely and, eh, just live. Who will be happier?
