Not strong at all. Many reasons but here's just a couple. We (humankind) are supposedly created in god's image. I guess this means a spiritual image rather than physical. If so, that explains why humans are mean, rotten, lying, cheating, stealing, etc.
Second reason: If a person believes in what the bible says, then one would have to believe Isaiah 45:7, right? Doesn't that say that god is the light and the dark, the good and the bad, that god is all things? Without god there is nothing? So why should I put my faith and trust in something that created evil? And please don't tell me god doesn't create evil. Who created lucifer?
And this is my 3rd reason: either god causes bad things to happen or fails to stop bad things from happening. If god causes bad things, then god is not a good and loving god. If god fails to stop bad things from happening, well..... you tell me what that says about this god.

Honestly I can only answer after I die. I can tell you what I hope; that I die faithful, with the faith of being changed in a twinkling of an eye to a spirit body. Then U can ask this question again. What are points 4 anyway?

I'm not your fetch dog but I'll answer anyway.
I have no faith in the God of the Bible. I really don't go by faith but really more through experience and through reason. So, my experience and reason tells me that there is a universal energy and consciousness, that some might call god, that connects us all on a deeper dimension.

I put all my faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus created everything, everything visible and invisible, principalities and dominions. And He holds everything together. Without God, we couldn't take our next breath. He is always there with us, waiting to fulfill all our needs. I'm not perfect, like everyone, I step off the straight and narrow, but God is faithful to forgive us if we ask Him. He is the Father of the prodigal son, waiting for us with open arms.

my faith in God is very much huge. i want to work on the streets of chicago or some other city with troubled youth. i know that if i do get shot or something else occurs, i'm going to heaven. so i'm really not worried at all.

I think that anyone can claim how strong their faith is, but really, everyone has their setbacks... simply worrying about something is a setback. When it boils down to it, if you believe he will carry you through, there is no need for faith to be measured. No one can claim to have stronger faith than anyone else. Faith is faith.
