An atheist, a deist and a religious theist find a treasure chest. It's locked up tight, and there's no way to investigate what's inside.
Atheist: "I wonder if there is anything inside."
Deist: "Of course there is something inside. I wonder what it is."
Theist: "It's a potion of eternal life."
Wonder what they would say if they could open it but there was nothing inside.
By the way someone mentioned the word Faith in religious terms.
Faith is utter belief in God, and a reflection of that belief in all aspects of life at all times. It is verifiable and strengthened through testing ones own Faith continually.
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
