If faith can move mountains, why can't it tolerate criticism?

    If it is moving mountains it can and does tolerate lots of criticism. A mountain can't be moved any other way. Even if it is faith that is getting it moved, criticism is part of what helps us understand what is and isn't working with our faith in whatever it is that makes those mountains move. Where did you ever think criticism was not or is not part of any process that works?

    Because faith cannot move mountains. Moving mountains requires energy.

    Because doubt and faith are antagonistic to each other? Or that doubts are seducive if faith is shaky. Criticism leads to doubts which poison 'faith'.

    "Faith" doesn't do anything but deceive the faithful.

    Faith is believing what you know isn't true.

    If faith was worthy, we wouldn't need anything else.

    Faith is for the weak and the children.

    Confidence and reality are there for adults.

    "He said to them: “Because of YOUR little faith. For truly I say to YOU, If YOU have faith the size of a mustard grain, YOU will say to this mountain, ‘Transfer from here to there,’ and it will transfer, and nothing will be impossible for YOU.” (Matthew 17:20. Bible).

    Most religions are a house of cards, you can't remove (challenge) any of the elements without the whole thing collapsing in a heap.

    Blind faith (of Muslims and Christians) can only move brain-dead zombies to destroy unbelievers.

    Strong, REAL faith can, that doesn't mean a bunch of petty twisted assumptions and straw-man arguments

    becausea no one objects a faithful person and if does he feels that something unusual has happened to him and can not tolerate it
