    Cool quote. The problem is the people who claim to have faith use faith as an excuse to cling to a belief even after facts have proven otherwise. “But I still have faith X is true.” despite the facts proving otherwise. There in lies the problem.

      You’re correct, but only through the modern bastardization of the terms. Beliefs and faith aren’t interchangeable, they are different things. Just because people claim faith doesn’t mean they have it.

      It’s like naming your dog Cat, and then getting upset that he won’t use a litterbox.
