I'd be curious to know the linguistic methodology you've used to derive this definition.


It was a quote form somebody. Not my work.

I disagree. The more 'truth' I find, the stronger my faith becomes.

Faith is the way you believe what you think is true.
DolmayanSilveria Posted at 8:28 am on July 31, 2008
Faith is essentially an adult-sized comfort blanket, so it's probably at least partially accurate.

Haha, this isnt serious is it? Disagree. If Faith is not wanting the truth, hope is the same. Hope and faith are the same thing, loosely.

I have faith Jimmy will pass the math test.  
I have hopes that Jimmy will past the math test.  

Seriously. Is this a completely useless way to debunk Religion?

Fail.


I am meerly asking you to discuss the quote, I myself have nto told you wether I agree with it or not. I want to see your reactions. I want to prove nothing.

babiiflow Posted at 8:23 am on July 31, 2008
I sort of agree.
King Kong Posted at 8:22 am on July 31, 2008
disagree
Bonolove Posted at 8:21 am on July 31, 2008
that's a disagreeable statement...
Smorz Posted at 8:20 am on July 31, 2008
I think it's true to a certain point, most people will never accept it though.
