Dictionary's can be inaccurate, and while I agree faith is belief in something without evidence, I also believe there is much more to faith than that. It is a personal thing acquired through personal experience, and unless one has faith, they cannot claim to understand faith. Because they obviously do not.
"How can I find something that has been proven false?" What exactly is it that has been proven false? God? I don't think so, Zeus, no one has ever proven God false and in my experience, I have more than enough personal evidence to convince myself that God is real.
I'm not trying to prove to you that God is real or that my religion is true. I am trying to explain how faith and God works, and how Christianity can be looked at from a different angle than the dim and inaccurate one that you hold. I am trying to give you a better understanding of these things so that our discussion can actually expand somewhere.
1.That was my definition by the way.
2. I know god has not been proven false. I am agnostic if you see. But remember he has also never been proven true.
3.Christianity is False. It is not true and by saying it's not literal does not make the Christian God exist.
4.You can not teach me when you have not learned.*
Wow I actually like that quote.*
