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.

A christian, claiming to have faith, is either insane or ignorant.

Yeh, I think thats where you got off course. I was trying very carefully not to interject any religion into my posts. Sorry for the confusion.
