It is important to figure out what ethical framework you already utilize and expand these personal strengths........
 It isn't too greedy to figure out what great philosophies you yourselves hold, and expand. The real danger is being robbed of strengths- when everyone knows what your intentions are and what you are, and what principles you do have (in third person ).

Why would you believe something you don't know to be true? Or at least have a reasonable amount of evidence?
I have very few beliefs, but I do believe that if you do good things in society, you will inspire other people to do good things and life will be better. I believe this because I have been inspired by others who do great things for no personal gain (other than feeling good about doing the "right" thing) and others have told me I have inspired them. It's a karma thing, with real-life reenforcement.

I think this is what was being questioned, not her use of the word "belief"

Based on the fact that the core beliefs of the majority of people contradict each other, we can say, that the majority of people in the world, in fact believe something that is false.
Now, if the core beliefs of the majority of people in the world are false, then, the chances are, YOUR core beliefs are false. So, regardless of what it is that YOU believe in, perhaps you should take a nice step back from that which is most likely blinding you. Faith? no such thing....not amongst humans. Faith consists of having no doubt....not even a speck of it. If one claims to have faith, then they are to be referred to as a gnostic. Gnostic Theists are what we call extremists. People that have completely lost their sanity. So, be cautious when claiming to have faith.

WHIP you're making the same mistake, faith does not mean religion. Religious faith is the third definition, so can't be assumed, and must be stated.

my post begins on topic, with a discussion of core beliefs, regardless of what they are based on
The second part is in reference to a discussion being held on perceptions of faith in regards to (I assume) a christian view on the term faith. In this case, it is based on the words and action of the fictional character "Jesus". In this sense, the word "Faith" would be, without doubt, and therefore is non-existent amongst christians. "If ye only faith, you could move a mountain" A christian, claiming to have faith, is either insane or ignorant.

Nice? Its idiotic? Didn't you get married on faith in your partner?
Do you believe in Beest not to cheat on you and to uphold his responsibilities as your life partner? Don't you, Lamp have that same faith in your wife? This is but one example.

I had reasonable evidence that beest would uphold my expectations of our marriage. Perhaps that's why we're still married.
