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

[Edwardo Piet]

@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?

I said

[...] (whether that's evidence altogether or just verifiable evidence)

I have faith that God exists, which leads me to a belief in Christianity.

I'm well aware of that.

I have faith that gravity keeps me on the earth, which leads me to believe I won't float away.

There's not just any old evidence but also scientifically verifiable evidence for that so I don't see why you believe you "have faith" in that.

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.

But what use does faith actually have? As I have already asked.

All different aspects have their uses and faith is very usefull.

How?

Calling it blind is an adjective for overly biased or unchecked and is tacked onto many words for the same affect.

I believe it to be blind because I don't see any use in it and it isn't based on anything as far as I know at least. You have failed to show me that it is based on anything (what is it based on?) or how it's useful (you say it's useful, but how?).

Blind ambition, blind rage and blind faith are all instances where unchecked and ignorant practices add connotative destructive power to a word.

I mean blind in the sense of being baseless and useless in itself. As far as I can tell "Faith" is like this by definition so unless you can provide me any reasons how it isn't useless, and how it is based on something then I'm, naturally, sticking to that belief of mine.
