OK, so you're wiping one of the definitions of faith from the Dictionary, and making the word faith mean "belief backed up by evidence."

OK, fine. I'll let you take that up with the Dictionary committee; I don't care.

Can you please let the world know the English language word that describes "belief without evidence"? What is that word?

I previously stated, "Faith is an action or a readiness to act based on the confidence one has in the object of their belief. It is primarily a verb."

You can go to your English dictionary if you wish. However, I'm a theologian, and it's my job to paint a picture as to how God defines Biblical faith. Maybe your definition of faith does not have an object or the need for confidence in that object, which puzzles me. That said, how can one have confidence in nothing? Is that what science teaches you?

Credulity. That many be how you see Christianity, but you are dead wrong, and I can destroy that position.
