As to the OP, I've often wondered at this myself, though not in the same words. For all the talk of faith it has always seemed to me that Christians generally have very little of it. For them the bible is a contract setting out the terms under which they accept God. They do not humbly open themselves to God but rather claim utter certainty that He is exactly as promised. Faith shouldn't be the word they use.
Then again what they do with "belief" isn't much better. For me, to believe is synonymous with finding credible. But among Christians "belief" becomes a form of fervent wishing.
