What is your definition of faith?
I agree with JennyA. The people who love me have provided me with evidence of their love. It is actually dangerous to believe that someone loves you based on blind faith instead of the other person's actions. That is how people end up in abusive situations.
Faith is assenting to information and then acting upon it. I believe that God loves me and the proof of that. I act understanding that to be true.
@ tsq
I wouldn't defend the sa. Some news was reported on here from the Australian press a year or so ago that was clearly spurious about their supposed anti gay stance. They're anti gay as much as any mainstream Christian church. I don't agree with that stance but I've not seen any evidence of anything more offensive.
