What is faith?
Faith says, "I believe this and I don't care what you say, I cannot possibly be wrong." Faith is an act of pride.

Personally I find the word "hope" infinitely better, mostly because of the religious connotations of "faith". It is a necessary motivator. I hate it when people use the phrase "You just lack faith". Yes, I lack the belief in something completely out of the context of reality. Thank you very much sir.

Paul's Letter to the Galatians 3:16-19
16 The promises (of salvation) were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,”[i] meaning one person, who is Christ. 17 What I mean is this: The law, (Jewish law) introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant (the one between God and Abraham) previously established by God and thus do away with the promise (of salvation). 18 For if the inheritance (God's favor) depends on the law (Jewish law), then it no longer depends on the promise (of salvation); but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise (of salvation).
19 Why, then, was the law (Jewish law) given at all? It was added because of transgressions (Adam's sin) until the Seed (Christ) to whom the promise (of salvation) referred had come. The law (Jewish law) was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator (Christ).
Oh snap! I can't read any of this shit. What is this code for and what do you have to hide?

Oh hell yeah! It is WRITTEN, right there in the book of Ryan. You can look that shit up. In your eye religious dude.
