238. Yes. You have it.
"Everything's faith, but anything that contradicts MY faith is wrong."

That is so, and the essence of the point I am making.

Political argumentation can still occur when the premises are agreed upon. Most people accept conventional morality, the truth of logic, the truth of their existence, the truth of the existence of the physical universe with which they interact, and so on. From these premises, arguments can be held, as long as the positions being advocated are the rational conclusions of such faith-based premises rather than postulates taken on faith themselves.
