I see the distinction between faith and reason perfectly well. It is you that is pretending you are capable of attaining knowledge through faith, while at the same contending that faith begins where knowledge ends. That is a contradiction.

I have no issue with a person having faith. I have issue with people who behave as if their faith is indicative of knowledge. Faith is not knowledge.
I said faith begins where reason ends, don't mutate what I said to conform to what you want me to have said. My spiritual experiences and the events that I've been through, are to me testament that there is God. If you want to call this knowledge, fine, call it faith, fine. There is no contradiction, there is truth. I only said that for me, because I am the one that experienced these things, not you. Therefore I acknowledge this truth, which you deny, that is all. There is no contradiction aside from what you make. Faith is only knowledge to each and every one of us of that thing which reason cannot show us, namely God. Thus reason could not answer the experiences I've had.
