    Faith is just trust. To do anything at all involves some element of faith. To have no faith would turn a person into a deranged control freak. The problem is not faith but religious organizations who try to warp “have faith” into “don’t ever use your own intelligence to second guess what we say.”

      No, faith is more than trust. Faith is trust that you do not verify. Why? Because every time people say they “have faith”, it is distinctly about something they cannot or will not verify. 99.99% of the time, it’s “will not”.
