If faith works how every religion says it works......

@ Ace - And if I said all atheist, hard or otherwise, were unwarrented audaciously bigoted asses would I also have a point? No it's simple unfounded slander just like her statement. You choice of ideals and beliefs are not any correlation to yoour intellegence, just your perception on reality. If she had left it at deluded I probably wouldn't even have bothered a mention.

@EvF - And I repeat your definition of faith as nothing more than belief without evidence is incorrect. If that's all it was the dictionary would only have that definition, it doesn't. That's the only relevant definition if you're speaking solly scientifically, but theology and science are like oil and water, so why use that definition? Faith is trust and confidence in things not proven absolutely true. I have faith that God exists, which leads me to a belief in Christianity. I have faith that gravity keeps me on the earth, which leads me to believe I won't float away. I have faith in the potential of humanity and mankind, and I believe that mankind when tempered with reason can achieve wonderous things and has. If you want to say faith is belief without scientific proof then that'd be at least a little more accurate. It's a degree based thing- Proof, belief, faith, nonbelief, hypothesis. All different aspects have their uses and faith is very usefull. Calling it blind is an adjective for overly biased or unchecked and is tacked onto many words for the same affect. Blind ambition, blind rage and blind faith are all instances where unchecked and ignorant practices add connotative destructive power to a word.
