Are you saying belief must be based on faith?


Even though the question wasn't directed at me I feel tempted to answer since the answer is so simple.

And the answer is: Yes. But it can be faith in dogma, imagination, probability calculations or just chance.

OK, I've had coffee and that won't wash. Why would you need the adjective?

I've been meaning to ask, given your faith defines your belief systems, why entertain those that challenge it?
Good question, Chum. I would have to say that faith is similar to belief but implies loyalty. So it might be more appropriate to say faith is based on belief. If this doesn't make sense, it's because I haven't had my coffee yet.
