wouldn't everyone confuse faith as fact then? Not just
christians on this thread. When you sit in a chair? It's not
fact that it will hold you up, you have faith in that chair,
that it will hold you up.  I just dont have any faith in that
argument Feanaro. It may be a trust that you put in the chair
but it definately, even if you want to call it by the name of
faith, does not come near to the significance of a religious
faith. They are two very different things, additionally because
a chair is a man made object, and if it breaks it is either the
owner or the builder's fault. Now if you had the belief or the
faith that the chair was standing through the power of God then
it would be a different matter, but as it stands, the chair that
is, as you are sitting in it, I think it is a trust that allows
you to go on using it without suffering a fear of it failing
you. Or Newton's law as ET
