Faith in religion, or God, is not the only faith. For instance, a lot of cars stop behind me at stop lights; As they approach I have faith they will stop.
God is real because we have GT5
Trust is a synonym for faith. More precisely, faith is trust without proof. Tell me how I can prove a car will stop.You trust that they will stop. Faith is belief without proof. Trust is believing something based on similar past experiences. In the past, cars have stopped behind you at lights. This makes you trust that they will again.

So, yes, I trust the car will stop. Due to no proof it will stop that feeling has now morphed into faith. Furthermore, trust has nothing to do with the past, but rather the future.

I've been rear ended twice. I don't trust anyone on the road.
To me, this is where they diverge. Personally, I trust in things based upon the logic of my past experiences.
what he said...I was talking about religious faith. I don't have faith that there is a god, but SOMETIMES I really do feel like life is pre-determined, pre-destined, planned out since birth, whatever. But I am not religious.
TopsuI wish there was a God, but the Bible is just so stupid it ruins everything for me. So I don't believe in God. I used to believe in people. But I'm not so sure about that either anymore.
Can't just jump to conclusions. Why do you wish there was one? Do some research. If you want to believe in one and truly think there is one there (there is) then do it. No one is stopping you lol![]()

Not as easy as that.

But you can avoid all that with a quick deathbed confession tho right?![]()
homeforsummerAmusingly, yes. St. Peter obviously isn't too picky. Believe, confess and repent in those dying moments and your chances of making it through the pearly gates apparently improve immeasurably.
nitrorocksIt doesn't go exactly like that

homeforsummerGo on then, surprise me. Does confessing your sins and repenting for them improve your chance at heaven or not then? If it doesn't then there are some serious inconsistencies lurking around here.
I don't. My friend said as a joke "he stoped believing in God when he found out it was dog spelt backwards". Lol.
Yes but that's only half. Togo to heaven you have to do that, and also turn as many people as you can during Christ
homeforsummerYou're gonna have to rephrase that because how you've worded it really doesn't make sense.
Do you mean you have to convert people to Christ in order to get to heaven?
