Alternative spellingsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. The word "faith" can refer to a religion itself or to religion in general. As with "trust", faith involves a concept of future events or outcomes, and is used conversely for a belief "not resting on logical proof or material evidence." Informal usage of the word "faith" can be quite broad, and may be used in place of "trust" or "belief." Faith is often used in a religious context, as in theology, where it almost universally refers to a trusting belief in a transcendent reality, or else in a Supreme Being and/or this being's role in the order of transcendent, spiritual things. Faith is in general the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true. It is the belief and the assent of the mind to the truth of what is declared by another, based on his or her authority and truthfulness. The English word faith is dated from 1200–50, from the Latin fidem, or fidēs, meaning trust, akin to fīdere, which means to trust. From Wikipedia under the

But you also have to bear in mind that if you have a faith, it should influence every part of your life and being. Anyone you speak to can piont out those that have a semblance of faith with no real belief, you know the type, for instance, the Sunday Social club christians who wouldn't dream of missing church, but God forbid the teachings should actually affect their lives. You cannot be a practising christian and willingly do evil things, or ignore the things you should be doing. And that is why you should, as much as possible, be a part of the community of your faith. Within that community you will find support and guidance,… [cont.] Answered by Heralda - Sat Mar 31 10:16:00 2007 Loss of faith - are people fickle or Gods authority insubstantial and irrational? Q. Some have great faith, others disillusioned. Faith in God is purely a personal interaction, why the disparity between the haves and the have nots? Angry atheists and blind faith religious fanatics. Reason abridges both. Is faith and belief purely a personal matter difficult to discuss or communicate with others? God is absent because people are fickle, a strong will and steadfast disciplined mind finds God it seems, fickle finds their 'God' as changeable as themselves - understanding and faith are beautiful virtues, I think. Asked by Blue Rock - Sun Oct 4 04:02:57 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Faith in a God is a human characteristic. No other animal believes in a God. Belief in God leads to religion and religion tends to incorporate a moral code based upon folklore. Christianity has taken on board both the folklore of the Jewish people modified by exposure to European tribes. That includes a lot of taboos about wealth and sex. Western society is built on wealth and more recently promiscuous sex has become our chief means of entertainment. Our residual Christian culture means that there are a lot of people walking around with a huge guilt complex which manifests itself in a hatred of religion. People don't want to discuss religion - except to slag it off - because it makes them feel guilty.

Q. Suppose we confirmed that there is life elsewhere in the Universe, other than on planet Earth... How would your faith system respond to this information? Does your religion presuppose that we are alone in the Universe? And how would your faith system or religion be effected or changed by such a discovery?
