As for the OP:
No, I don't have complete trust or confidence in anyone/anything. I trust certain people to a large degree but no one is going to be completely reliable and/or flawless. We're all human beings, and we're gonna fuck up here and there. If we care about someone, we don't need to completely trust in them (that's a fairy tale advice we like to give to ourselves) but we can learn to live with their flaws and accept them and love them in spite of them. It helps when the other person has the same sort of attitude of course.
Does this answer satisfy your curiosity? Or were you meaning to ask about a specific kind of faith?

I'm not looking for an argument, so you don't have to be guarded. I'm simply wanting to learn more about your belief, or absence of belief.
