Believing in something.... Anything requires faith, right?
faith and hope are together, so does every one have faith in something? And if we all have faith, and we know that there is only one way of truth no matter what we have faith in... We won't admit we are wrong, right? Non believers have faith that there is no God, right? and if its not faith, its hope... right?
Believers of God believe in their way as faith, right?
So, do we all agree that we all have faith in something?
And if u think its not faith, and just fact... Well, isnt that just by opinion? and arent opinions faith based? Because as long as there are different opinions... Everything isn't really a fact? but Faith?
(somebody has to disagree) Its they're Fact by Opinion. based on evidence of another fact of opinion....
So, whats your OPINION?
And readers: Count in ur mind whos perspective is a opinion, or fact.. Even if u do..someone else always Wont.... Know that.. REMEMBER THAT!!

Sometimes you will realize that faith is nothing, opinion is nothing and even fact is nothing. The only things you will know to be important is what you will do with those you personally believe as fact and faith. Opinion, in this stage, has no place.

Wow...this is confusing to me. Faith is different than hope. Hope is the idea that something may happen (like wishing). Faith is knowing that something will happen because it has in the past. Religious faith is something completely different...no one has "religious hope." (that I've heard of anyway). I can hope I get a million dollars tomorrow (which I don't think is ever going to happen, it hasn't in the past), or I can have faith that I will be able to figure out my finances (because I have in the past). Some faith goes on opinion, yes, but basically the word "faith" is originally from the fact that it happened in the past. I don't know if this answers it or not. I think I got confused in the process. lol.

NO. Fact is something that is true like 1+1=2
Opinion red is pretty.
I don't have faith that 1+1=2 i know it is a fact.
If i said Horoscopes are always correct it would be an opinion and it would also be false.
Religion is nothing more then a complex superstition.

No it dose NOT reqiure faith. I believe that we have brains not becuase I have faith but becuase they have actually cut us open when we dyed and there was a brain . Hope is something you feel when you desire something it again has nothing to do with faith. I have no faith that there is no god I see that there is NO god ...
I only have faith in things such as I have faith that my children will be good people and that my mother dosent dye anytime soon. Thats about it.
We all have opinions and are intitled to them!!

My spiritual philosophy is totally based on faith. I have no problem admitting that. My views have evolved greatly over the years, and I hope they continue to do so.
What doesn't change is that I do now and always have my whole life, believe in Love above all else.
My current spiritual structure view is well described by the Tao Te Ching.

You are using 'faith' to have several meaning.
Faith as a noun = a religious belief
faith as an action is to have faith in something ie I can have faith starting my car.
All people have faith in something, it isn't necessarily religious or quasi religious.
Facts MUST be provable by controlled observation, logical deduction, or be priory (true in themselves)
Opinion is the processing of evidence into a usable concept.

I see your point but I have been shown, in human terms, that the God described in the Bible can not exist. In the OT, YHWH is quoted as saying He creates all good and evil. In the NT, Satan appears (if you don't uinclude Job-that's another story) In order for this story not to have a deity with a split personality, the character Satan, would have to be an equal, thus contradicting His earlier statement and already proving that it is not a monotheistic belief.
If course the argument can be made that 'God works in mysterious ways' but that contradicts Paul's statement that 'God is not the author of confusion'

Non believers do not have faith. They have an opinion based on evidence.
Faith is wishful thinking.

we all have faith in something, we have faith that our home will still be there when we return from work, we have faith that our legs will work in the morning, we have faith that our car will run in the morning, etc.
