And still according to "my" link, belief and faith aren't mutually exclusive nor unrelated, thanks for validating the said link btw
Faith is based on belief, not the other way around
Misplaced trust in a person or a thing does exist, so does misplaced faith. So does a belief in something true.
Therefore
>Faith is not a strong belief. Belief is thinking something is true regardless of how contrary reality shows it to be.
This above, in bold, is obviously totally bogus
Bogus you say right?
May I ask if you believe in god?
Edit: let's explore this further if you don't mind then. You say it's bogus, but are you sure about that? Still waiting on your answer... Simple yes
or no. Do you believe in a god or gods etc..? Come on, back up your argument.
I believe Jupiter, the biggest planet so far in our solar system, does exist
Since according to you, "belief is thinking something is true regardless of how contrary reality shows it to be.", I'm afraid you'll need to prove that Jupiter doesn't exist here, or at least claim that it doesn't exist...
Go ahead now genius, make me laugh
No, not according to me. It's according to the origin of the word itself. Did you really think that I invented the word?
About jupiter... you claim this exists, I didn't say anything about jupiter, but if you want to ask, I have no evidence that Jupiter does not exist,
nor do you personally have any evidence that it does. All you have, again, is the reference of other's claiming that something exists... and
somehow that is sufficient enough for you to think it true. Interesting 'reality' you have going there. XD
When you laugh, are you capable of coherent thought, or are you just laughing maniacally? Either way enjoy your laugh.
Look, at this point it is just a matter of opinion. I was never intending to argue with you, but alas, it's merely a difference in opinion.
Hopefully you don't take any of this the wrong way because I'm just having fun. Since the dictionary itself supports both of what we
said, what's the point in trying to convince me into sharing your opinion of what faith is exclusively? According to the dictionary it's all of
those things it listed, which btw makes no sense to me, but that's another converstaion.
>Look, at this point it is just a matter of opinion
No, it's a matter of logic, common sense, and basic definition
>Belief is thinking something is true regardless of how contrary reality shows it to be.
You can believe in something that is true, it's a no brainer
Therefore, I still maintain that your definition of belief is completely bogus
That's fine. I could care less what you think about 'my' definition. However, that would only be true if I completely came up with that
definition of faith, and it was not originally from me. You can feel free to think anything is bogus or not, what matters is people are still
going to use the word faith in many different ways, whether you agree with it or not. You are only biased to what you are accustomed
to as far as the term 'faith' and 'belief' are used. The fact that you attack 'my supposed' definition of faith only shows insecurity or
lack of confidence in supporting your own opinion. Your very own reference of a dictionary listed my very definition of faith as the
number 1 on their list of 8.
