Faith varies by person. It's not limited by religion; a religious person may have faith in their deity of choice despite not seeing them while another person may have faith in a person to do a certain thing (faith somebody will do the right thing when it comes to doing what is right).

Wow, you sure showed me!!Sure did because I don't give a shlt. Nothing is going to change if you believe either way, so no harm in being wrong.
[QUOTE="ZumaJones07"]is 1=.999...?SoraX64Yes, because 1 = 3/3 and 1/3 = .333... and .333... * 3 = .999... Prove me wrong OT. [spoiler]
Faith is real if you believe in it.
It's also unexplainable in some cases but for the most part, a lot of it has been explained by science that had been thought of mysterious witch craft or something entirely unexplained like, space junk.
It's never wrong to question the unkown, especially when you have no way of explaining it.

So a $20 bill that is only worth less than a penny in actual paper value, being worth $20 because you believe it is worth that much is not faith in monetary value? Am I non thinking because I believe in that $20 and have Faith that I will get $20 value out of it? Or did I catch you and you're just trying to find a way to bail without looking too bad?[QUOTE="SoraX64"][QUOTE="ZumaJones07"]is 1=.999...?chessmaster1989Yes, because 1 = 3/3 and 1/3 = .333... and .333... * 3 = .999...

if you never get to 1 though, how can it be 1? it's just a bunch of 9's. calculus doesn't exist.ZumaJones07Start calculating without decimals.
faith is the foundation of all religions.ZumaJones07Bad place to start a thread. Religion is based on two things; 1) organized ritual centered around the ceasing of rational thought and expellation of built up emotions through the use of imagery and formulaic behavior/sayings and 2) the attempt to rationalize the world outside the ritual chamber, through tenets, beliefs, etc. Whether or not a person has "faith" in something is not necessarily a requirement of a "religion". It is merely a requirement of particular beliefs within specific religions.
Faith is believing in something w/o evidence.
strong or unshakeable belief in something, esp without proof or evidence

It is merely a requirement of particular beliefs within specific religions. without faith none of what you said makes sense. of course faith is the foundation of all religions because without it, so many claims said in each one become preposterous. no one knows how the ancient texts got here or what happened because video and youtube didn't exist to capture it and people today just have faith that the things they read and the stories are told are true because they don't know what happened themselves. faith is all religion is about.

.999....= X

9.00 = 9X
X = 1 = .999....
X/3 = 1/3 = .333....
9.99... x 10 cannot also be 10X because the 9's don't end.My thoughts;

faith is the foundation of all religions. regardless of proof, there is a sense of an upper being because of faith. but is faith real? how come some people have faith and some people do not have faith? is it an actual "thing"? is it tangible like matter and objects or is it just something fundamental to religion, but not really "there" like time, measurements, ideas, etc. is faith a fact? is faith something real? or is faith something more for us to question since we all do not have this faith trait even though we're mostly 99.9% the same? is faith the remaining part of that percent? is 1=.999...?ZumaJones07

Is faith fact? What?chaoscougar1yea, that's what all that means. it's also the topic title if you didn't see it.

Faith is the belief put in someone, usually positively. As in I have faith thatalot of atheists on OT don't understand the theological concepts of Christianity. I also have faith in Christianity. But is it a thing? As much a thing as any other belief I suppose. That is if I understood you right.

Why do you bash Atheists intelligence in every post you make. We get it you dislike atheists, no need to beat a dead horse. I have faith that alot of Christians on OT don't understand the theological concepts of Christianity, there are idiots of all beliefs.

you are of course right, alot of Christian's don't understand the theological beliefs they were brought up to believe and yes there are idiots of all beliefs. In orthodoxy we've had some great idiots.

More claims of intellectual superiority? Aren't you becoming like those you despise?
Beleifs and faith have the differences of evidential value and complete submission.

Since when did I make myself or Christians to be superior? That being said I wasn't the type that just continued to believe based on "sola fide" as we might say.

You are slagging off atheists once again. Your "faith" that atheists don't understand the thological concepts of Christianty demontrates how blind faith really is. Please don't hide in your Christianty - it is your own personal conduct in question.

Well yeah it was a cheap shot, that was kind of the point. though some atheists have a knowledge fo these things, its just that the vast majority dont. But that was something interesting.
Atheists not knowing Christianity demonstrates a Christian's faith in their religion is blind....
That is some off logic there.

Seems par for your course that you see a point in making cheap shots. As is your fallacious use of arguments from an imagined majority.
It seeps quite superior of you to "know" what atheists know.
We have discussed your foundations for belief several times now and the evidential value you attach to hear-say, authority and revelation in your own faith-bound beliefs. If there was hard evidence, you would not need faith to justify those beliefs, would you?
