Christian "faith" vs. plain "faith"

[watchamadoodle]

Sometimes people willfully utilize the ambiguity of the term "faith," jumping back and forth between definitions, in an effort to evade reality. This is called "equivocation." See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivocation

This is a common ploy that I have encountered in the question of "faith" and its relationship with Christianity. "Trust" and "belief without evidence" are not at all the same thing, and it is unfortunate that the same word can mean either.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that definition of equivocation.
I like this example:

Margarine is better than nothing.
Nothing is better than butter.
Therefore, margarine is better than butter.
