You haven't understood, or tried for that matter, a single thing I've said. Instead, you prefer to remain ignorant for pride's sake, it is beyond your capacity to admit misunderstanding or error. Isn't pride one of the seven deadly sins?
Stay ignorant my friend, I no longer give a shit.
You act as if I'm the one that originated the quote about humanity being able to compress into the size of a sugar cube...
You can find many sources stating the above (I posted a few), I'm open to correction but you have to provide a source, which I clearly asked you to do. Using your ass as a source isn't good enough.

That is untrue, one word can have completely different (and sometimes opposite) meanings depending on the context.

Did you see it? You just said EXACTLY what I've been telling you this whole time, and yet, somehow, you're arguing AGAINST what I'm saying!
Can we PLEASE just skip to the part where you say, "I get what you're saying now. I did not mean that there was no difference ever, I meant it only in the context of that to which I was replying. Of course the words are not synonymous 100% of the time and always entirely interchangeable and of course there are times when faith and belief have different, not entirely compatible meanings, their usage not being synonymous in those cases." I PROMISE YOU, this was not some elaborate setup to get you to cop to anything so I could go, "AHA!" I can't stand information that isn't entirely correct. There's something wrong in my brain that makes it drive me nuts. THAT is what this is about. I was pointing out that they are not ALWAYS the same thing, that there IS a difference sometimes, which IS WHAT YOU JUST SAID! That's it! No hidden agenda, no trying to make you look bad, just pointing out that "no difference", put that plainly with no contextual qualifiers, was not accurate.
Here's your problem, you took what I said completely out of context. I didn't just state "Belief and faith are synonymous, there is no difference..." out of the blue, I made that statement in response to what someone else said.

We know that things occur by natural processes, so this would be the most, and at this stage, only logical possible solution.
My beliefs are based on what can be proven, your faith is despite what can be proven.
Get the difference.
Belief and faith are synonymous, there is no difference...
I was replying to a specific statement, that why I put it in bold...
Beliefs ARE NOT based on what can be proven, you can't differentiate belief and faith in that manner they mean the same exact thing as it relates to what DBP stated.
