Is faith a reliable path towards truth.
If 'truth' exists then it will only be reached by reason and verifiable evidence (to ensure the path you walk is heading in the right direction). Faith could just as easily have a man walk on the wrong path, in completely the wrong direction. In short, you can not trust faith as a reliable compass.

Kelly has faith that the Christian God represents truth.
Mr X has faith that the Hindu Gods represents truth.
Clearly faith alone is not a reliable path to truth, as faith without certainty can lead one astray.
You think anyone here has facts that will not change with new information as their only guiding light in life?

I have faith in reality, who doesn’t?
Whose reality? The strictly mind-depended reality that is grounded solely on our bodymind, or Dog's strictly mind-depended reality that is grounded solely on dog's bodymind? For Our reality is colorful, while Theirs is differ versions of black and white; as regards which exactly specific reality do you have faith in?
Because there are as many realities as the sentient beings that conceive them😵

We all see through the glass darkly our opinions change upon the introduction of new information, be it good or bad.
With the exception of God grasping reality isn’t as easy as you would think.

The Reality seen by the eye of the Man, or the Reality seen by the eye of the Dog?
The Reality that is perceived and deciphered by the mind of the Man, or the Reality that is perceived and deciphered by the mind of the Dog?

even look at one another or listen to one another and grasp reality, instead our
assumptions abound and we start to paint one another in our hearts making each out to
be what we think people are, instead of what they really are. Perspectives of plants, dogs,
birds, and people are just another word for looking at the universe through different lens,
forming different opinions.
World views color the world the way we want, or believe them to be. Someone who hates
another due to the X of another person is always going to see the worst in them,
someone who loves isn't. To get a clear picture also requires a lot of knowledge not a
point of view that has holes in it, or bad assumptions.
Outside of God, none of us have that ability for He sees it all, and designed it, as well
as holds it all together.
Edit: Have you ever read "Watership Down"?
