I've lost some people for not being a fan of religion or faith-based thinking generally. This happens. Thanks to all the religious people who stay with me despite disagreeing on this. You're the ones I want to keep.
No, I just take the risk. This is not what is meant by 'faith-based thinking' and not at all what I am criticising. If 'have faith' can be swapped with 'have confidence for good reason'. I am not criticising it.

Lol, did you think all "faith based thinkers" do it without confidence or good reason? You really do not understand faith based thinking.
-
This is the definition of faith that I am talking about. I have already said this. I am not criticising having confidence in things for good reason.
-
So how do you think people come to have, and rely on "faith"? Like, if they don't have a good reason to believe something, do they actually even believe it? You aren't attacking faith, just stupidity. Use stupidity next time, not faith.

That's pretty much my definition of faith - it describes the confidence and trust that come from experience. And thus, yes, I do have faith that my chair will bear me (even though I know chairs sometimes break), but I might not have the same faith in someone else's chair!
-
If you put the chair together yourself, you can reasonably ascertain from years of experience in chairmaking and physics, that your chair will stand. You don't need faith. You can probably tell when a chair won't stand, if you could see the maker making it Any chair ever? Faith
-
If I put the chair together myself, I wouldn't give it five minutes.

Ok so that would be the opposite of faith or security, you would know that it would be faulty. Haha my apologies if I inferred the wrong message
