Do you agree with Kanye West, that "We have to act on faith, with the sure knowledge that we are pursuing the right goals?

 and doing the right things"?

Update:

He said it in an ad for his presidential campaign, not the lyrics of one of his songs, by the way.

    Prefer what Jesus Christ says  :

    But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

    No.

    Acting on faith, with the sure knowledge

    you are pursuing the right goals

    is a recipe for jumping to wrong conclusions

    and never figuring out your mistakes.

    Doubt and self reflection

    are the beginnings of wisdom.

    Faith is pretending to have knowledge.

    We have to act on evidence  not faith. 

    We should be led by data not an arrogant and irrational reliance on our own feelings. Faith is a poor why to make decisions.

    ANYTHING THAT HE SAYS IS INSANE.

    Kayne West is almost as mentally disturbed as Limbaugh and Trump. I pay no attention to the borderline insane. And the quote is rhetoric with no single meaning.
