I was referring to his belief that "faith" mean's human belief and while certainly it is used that way today, the bible clearly states in many places it is not made by man, not belief, it is a gift of God.
It does not matter if there is or isn't a God in this instance, the syntax and context is crystal clear on it's ancient usage and meaning.
Which is why I use the Superman example, the lore is crystal clear: He is weakened by kryptonite, not samsonite.
"Don't be silly, Superman doesn't exist outside of fiction. So what weakens him is irrelevant to our reality."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
