Yeah, the only problem with Faith, is that people assume it only applies as "religious" faith.

You're right, it is assumed that way. But Faith (capitalized) always applies to belief in something that has no evidence, or at least none that can be taken seriously. The only thing that requires such a level of oversight on the part of the believer other than religion is belief in the supernatural, like ghosts. And I can believe ghosts are aliens trying to screw with us. I know I would if I had that level of technology and a backwater planet. I cannot believe all the nasty stuff in the world is caused by a God screwing with us. So when you come down to it, yah, Faith means religion.

But do we really want Christianity to be our moral compass? Specially the King James Bible?

Where throwing your own daughters for a mob to rape is better then 2 angels to get raped.

How about blind faith in a political system which focuses more on economical stability, than the medical well-fare of its people, which its thrown out the window, fighting a war, which bases when looked upon was a cost efficient way to rid America of bombs which cost more than the entire American economical Deficit, to dismantle, even though if America was a State of Freedom would not need such villainous devices?

America is fucking Screwed up, before Religion had anything to do with it.

[sengachi]

That's not Faith. Plus, once more, ye attempt to change the topic, I vote we ignore will's last comment and continue on with the discussion.
The one about stage names.
