Faith is the excuse we give ourselves to believe things without good reason

[Starboard Tack]

90. Faith means trust. I decide whether to trust something or someone.

It is my choice. Maybe this will help.

Faith is confidence or trust in a person or entity. Depending on the religion, faith is belief in a single god or multiple gods or in the doctrines or teachings of the religion. Informal usage of faith can be quite broad, including trust or belief without proof, and "faith" is often used as a substitute for "hope", "trust" or "belief".

Some critics of faith have argued that faith is opposed to reason. In contrast, some advocates of faith argue that the proper domain of faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence. This is exemplified by attitudes about the future, which (by definition) has not yet occurred. Logical reasoning may proceed from any set of assumptions, positive or negative. In this view, faith is simply the selection of any assumption that may not be determinable by evidence.

I have faith in my own judgment on this subject. I do not have faith in yours. That is my choice. I have more faith in my doctor concerning my health, than I do in my lawyer. My choice. I have more faith in the theory of evolution than the theory of intelligent design. My choice.
You can play at semantics and try to change the definition of words, but I have more faith in the dictionary and my own knowledge of language. My choice.
