Sycamore's amazing conclusion #1

Posted by Perth:
think of it this way. faith is faith. faith in god, vishnu, thor, zeus; faith in your family, the goodness of mankind, or in your own ability to know right from wrong. im not asking you to have faith in god, im asking you to have faith. i dont believe there different kinds of faith.

     I assume we are working off the definition of faith as believing in something we can't prove? If so then I'd like to draw a line in the difference between expectation and faith. The difference being faith accepts that something is true and expectation accepts that it is likely. I'm moving on with this if you disagree then I'll have to go back.
     Anyway, I don't have faith in anything you mentioned. I expect that I'll choose what is right over what is wrong to the best of my knowledge and I expect that I'll often be wrong. Faith in the family went out the window awhile back, nasty situation, and now I expect that they will do good by me, but I would never count on it. I've never seen any reason to put my faith in any higher power, divine judgment or universal justice. Not outside of a Disney movie anyway. I do like that people have the ability to have faith I just never saw the point myself.
     Just to clarify, I think everything we 'know' is questionable. This years scientific facts are just as likely to be shown to be false later as the facts we've proven false in the past. I accept that my perceptions and knowledge is limited and fallible, and it doesn't bother me. So again I ask "Why have faith?"

     Oh yeah, Wolf, I know that God is male, I was just messing with Juju. Yesterday I called him a 'Prima Dona' it only seemed right to go the other way by calling him sexist today. Thanks for the clarification though.

(For those with no sense of humor: The claim that I "know" god is male in a post where I said I don't believe in any higher power was intentional.)
