Quote:When we talk of faith we mean 'informed faith', not 'blind faith.'
There is no difference. By definition,'faith' is belief based on authority rather than proof.A more honest word for faith is 'superstition'

Faith Hope,and love all exist as concepts because they each serve at least one function.

I lack faith, but have no right to deny it to others.

I really don't know what word 'love means' ;empathy and unconditional acceptance? The closest I've ever seen to that ideal is maternal love. I suspect the narcissistic obsession we call 'romantic love' is no more than a biological urge. It is also my perception that there are altruistic acts,many,but so far I've never met an altruistic person.


Hope as an excuse for inaction is not hope me. For me hope has always motivated me and given me confidence for a successful outcome. Without hope, I despair.
