Three former Christians define faith negatively — Volker Dittmer calls faith the logical opposite of intelligence

Volker Dittmer (self-identified ex-Christian atheist) defined faith as holding beliefs no matter what new information you receive — i.e., the logical opposite of intelligence. Mike challenges this, asking whether Jesus's command to believe was ever meant as an instruction to resist new information. He questions whether Volker actually held this view when he was a Christian.
