THEO 1000 4/17/2012 Faith VS. Reason I believe that by definition faith and reason contradict each other‚ causing them to be incompatible. A person who relies on reason to interpret reality is using logic‚ probability‚ and induction to arrive at conclusions about the world.

Faith is not simply an alternative

The Handmaid’s Tale conveys the message that the ability to have "faith" and grow from a precursor can create connections with others.
