Faith, what is it?

John 20:24-29 (King James Version)
24.But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25.The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26.And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27.Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28.And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
29.Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

In the first few verses Jesus made a post resurrection appearance to his apostles and Thomas was not present. After being told of it he did not believe, when Jesus made a second appearance and Thomas requested proof was granted he then called him lord. But was chastised for believing because he saw and was told that those that believed without seeing were blessed. In other words it is a virtue to believe without evidence. The second text is self explanatory. I hope this is what you were looking for bungy. If not I can always find more, lots more.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
