I say faith is delusion on purpose.

A lack of faith is a lack of trust, belief ,confidence, optimism or conviction.If we completely lacked faith ,nobody would trust anybody . For instance do you have faith in your child , Do you have faith in a person that you may hire .You should have stated ( is faith in religious belief or a god ever good ) This of course is entirely a different story .

That is the F-word I never use.

Ok I have faith that my NE Patriots are going to win the ongoing game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers despite the way Steelers defense keeps nailing Brady. Is it good? If you're a Patriots fan it is.

I agree with Matt Dillahunty's definition. Faith is the excuse people give for believing something when they don't have a good reason. Because if someone has a good reason for believing something they never say it's based on faith, they just give their reasons.

One of the things I love about no longer believing in god is that I am no longer ashamed to say "I don't know". It feels good to embrace intellectual honesty.

Faith in oneself and loved ones.

It's never a good idea to accept something as true if you have no proof. I have faith society will never see that and continue to accept faith based votes the same as ones based on knowledge keeping itself stuck in the mud.

I don't know about your definition of faith, but it is as good as any....like anything, it has no inherent value, except the value you put into it. So if the value is good, there you go...if bad, there you go again. When I was training MMA people used Faith to push they're bodies when it was needed. Made me wish I had some Faith...hehe...instead I wanted a frickin' nap....haha

I think faith in society beign able to improve itself by having peopel work together to build a better society is worth while. Of course evidence shows that this actually works. It is when a "culture of greed" comes along where everyone stops working for the common good and people start to just look out only for themselves that a society, nation or empires goes into decline.

Faith in yourself, and your ability to fix whatever may not be working in your own life, are always good things.
