Alternative spellingsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth of or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. For example, 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 standardly 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 Divine Being or and said being's role in the order of transcendent, spiritual things. In a religious context, the actual meaning of the word "faith" is very commonly misconstrued, mostly by those who call themselves faithful and very commonly even by their opponents. These words indisputably refer to the requirement of solid and logical inferences for the foundation of a real and acceptable faith, relatively speaking. Conversely, a "believer" that does not have logical, solid, and trustworthy references on which to base their "faith" has fallen into mere credulity and fideism. Many are surprised to see that the Bible itself actually condemns illogical, unfounded credulity ("A simple man believes every word he hears; a clever man understands the need for proof"). 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 to trust. Allegory of faith, by L.S. Carmona (1752–53). Veil symbolizes the impossibility to know directly the evidences.From Wikipedia under the

Q. If an atheists do not believe in God, How is it possible for us to be blasphemous. And if we question your faith, we do not necessarily blaspheme against the holy Spirit anyway? Asked by Walter (Onion of Santa) - Wed Oct 15 13:07:12 2008 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments A. Correct. God may be directing the Atheists to question the standard worshipping practices of the christian masses, for all we know. We don't even know for certain whether he exists or not. p.s; claiming that "you have heard the voice of God" or that "you have witnessed a miracle" is not proof. Those could just be freak supernatural occurances. Answered by the redcap - Wed Oct 15 13:12:09 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "faith" Quotations about faith Sourced
