I think that mostly comes down to how often we're accused of having faith, and yet it's a pejorative term when applied to us alone. It'd be like if you'd been dogged by accusations that you had a fetish for sheep all your life; in time, you might get pretty rabid at the slightest intimation. Tongue

I used to get pretty rabid when peeps called me a stalker, but then I got over it. Tongue

Besides, the standard theist cannot be trusted to clearly define any term; I'm not seeing why they should be allowed to define this one.

(Of course, my problem is that I have a ridiculous amount of faith, being a prophet and all, and it cannot be labelled other than faith.)
