Biography

I'm terrible at this... umm... I have very wide-ranging interests as can be seen below, and consider myself intermediate to advanced in most of those fields... I hate two things:
1. Churchian traditions, for which I have a hatred "exceedingly violent in its nature", and
2. Doing silly/tacky/stupid things merely for the sake of laughing and pointing out how silly/tacky/stupid it is, for example to watch a tacky tv-series to point out all instances of tackiness
I love music, virtually all kinds of music: Classic, pop, hip-hop, gangsta rap, metal (incl. black and death metal), grunge, country, blues... Jazz is borderline while some metal genres seem very silly for people over 14 years of age.
I also love the yuppie/DINK lifestyles. Thus, two of my fav. films are "Wall Street" and "American Psycho".
I'm interested in politics, but since I honestly believe I have the answers to all political dilemmas I seldom engage in it these days. My politics are libertarian: I'm against EVERYTHING but a police force, a military and a judiciary. My greatest influence is Robert Nozick (RIP) because he considers different viewpoints, which Ayn Rand usually doesn't.
I love philosophy as well. I'm currently "philosophising" over the phenomenon I call "the normative as truth" (like WVQ I reject a synthetic-analytic distinction). Central tenets in my thinking are empiricism, pragmatism, existentialism (as per Sartre) and relativism; that is, I consider these when "acting Socrates". That's apersonal enough for ya...

Definition of Faith

It is belief in the heart as opposed to just belief in the mind.

Is there such a thing as a "Dead Faith?"

No, there is no such thing as a "dead faith" because those who give mental assent to the truth will undoubtedly perform good works.

Assurance

The Spirit graciously gives assurance to those who assent to the truth. Good works have no part in producing assurance in an individual.

Agreement

I have answered all of these questions to the best of my knowledge.
