Re: Re-Taking a Stab
ICANT
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Wikipedia: 1.To trust:
Believing a certain variable will act or has the potential to act a
specific way despite the potential influence and probability of known or unknown change.
To have faith that one's spouse will keep a promise or commitment.
To have faith that the world will someday be peaceful.
To have faith that a person will pay you back.
To have faith in one's full dependence on the will of supernatural forces or deities.
2. To believe without reason:
Believing impulsively, or believing based upon social traditions or personal hopes.
To me the wiki second meaning is what it appears that most on here are using.
If there are different meanings fir faith in the debate, all you get is "garbage in, garbage out" and no meaningful dialogue.

There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other
