Faith is trust, gained after certain experiences with that person have earned them your trust. When you step on an airplane you have some faith in the designers. When you loan money to someone it is because you have faith in them that they will repay you, because they have earned that trust. Faith is not just going out and giving your money to a random person. In the same way faith is not saying, "Hmmm so many gods... I'll just pick the Christian one without evidence". Faith is gained when, after praying for instance, you feel your prayer is answered and you have more faith in God because of it. Faith is just another word for trust. The more we trust someone, the more blind faith we can have in them. If we really trust someone we can say, "here is my wallet, take whatever you want" just like we can give God all of what we have if we have faith. If we do not have faith, though, if there is no trust between us, we will give him nothing.
So faith is trust, not "belief without evidence"
