Please give with your answer an explaination in your own words and source along with your religion (if you have a religious affiliation). For example, if you give a scripture verse as an answer, please give your own inturpretation of that scripture in common terms. For atheists, please so state and give reference for your definition.

Atheist Revolution - So, if I believed say in a cure for cancer, would that be faith to you as well? If I said, "I believe there is a cure for cancer", when there is obviously no cure for cancer then that would be Faith, right?

a belief, trust, or confidence, not based merely on logic, reason, or empirical data

i don't think it could be defined, because to provide it a definition may make it into some thing, it is the different of no longer some thing. after I examine the observe "nothingness" what I see in my ideas is this: The hum of the universe fading to quietness--no longer by means of the undeniable fact that is quiet, yet because each and everything interior ones self is attuned with it (type of like a scent will flow away right away because you get used to it.) Then, out of the stillness, there is nothingness. *shrug*

Faith is the one which does not need repeated repairs, once after forming.
Faith on the lord should able to establish faith on the self
True Faith in not just the mere result of 'logical' analysis or 'blind belief' or ... its the result of 'experience' and 'realization'

When one strongly & firmly believes in something or someone, I assume that it means that one has undisputed faith in that particular thing or particular person.
Whether it be for a religion, a cause, a belief or another human being.

I'm an Aetheist, my understanding of FAITH is that it is the willingness of a person to believe that something exists, without having any proof that it exists.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen..." --Hebrews 11:1
That's quite succinct and self-explanatory, I believe...
Peace be with you.
