Fapping Away In Tinfoil Hat
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: Faith
I take faith as having confidence in your own abilities. In that i feel it is different than beliefs.

You can have faith in another person. Nothing religious about it and hopefully not it ain't so. That's about the only faith I have off and on. Sometimes wrongly but often times rightfully.

When relying upon the word, does one resort to reality?

Or rather, does one rely upon the word in deference to a religious system that has never provided a shred of evidence during its entire history of existence?

I certainly know I prefer the reality over the emotional blackmail.

Faith.

I have faith that those also claiming to have it will discount everything here for the sake of comfort.

Faith is nothing special, yet it affects too many people in the wrong way.

I have faith, that one day people will no longer be plagued by faith.

I like your analogy. But I never use words like "faith" or "respect" for that matter. I say "value" and I do value our species ability to ditch old and bad claims, we certainly have done it and can do it more. But I don't have blind faith in my species, I only know we are capable of progress IF we chose.

I think you're confusing faith with trust ( or maybe confusing trust with faith, English in confusing Sad)
