Faith isn't nonsense. We all have faith in something, without any faith in anything it's truly hard to go on living
The word faith as two senses:
1. complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
2. strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
I have faith in the first sense, which is basicallly a synonym for 'trust'. I have faith that the chair I'm sitting on won't explode and that the earth will still be rotating tomorrow. I base that on past performance, but it's not guaranteed. It IS more convenient to live my life as if chairs aren't going to explode if I sit on them though.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
