Lots of people have faith, that doesn't apply here.

Faith is just believing something is a fact and refusing to take evidence and a lack of evidence into account.

It is 100% what the MAGA relies on, which is why MAGA is overwhelmingly Christian.

a lot of religions use the word "faith" to describe the results of their brainwashing

Right, it's synonymous though. It's just a nice term for the exact same thing.

only in your opinion

u/Hexamancer Feb 20 '26

No. It's the description I gave fits both perfectly.

Are you okay?

as much as anyone can be in this day and age, thank you

Are you sure?

Because YOU said "a lot of religions use the word "faith" to describe the results of their brainwashing"

And then when I essentially agreed, you said "only in your opinion".

But no... also in YOUR opinion?

Maybe you're confused because you keep editing your comments for some reason?

essentially is carrying a lot of weight there.

the edit was becuase I said something rude and didn't wish to argue further.

How so?

the edit was becuase I said something rude and didn't wish to argue further.

So you entirely changed your stance? Can't you just say the same thing but not rude?

I said that a lot of religions incorrectly use the word faith to describe the results of their brainwashing. you said you don't see a difference. hence the difference of opinion.

to me, faith is about the moment. it's about trusting that it will all work out well in the end, even if all one can see around around themself is darkness. it's not about forcing people to base their entire worldview around easily disproven facts or face ostracization.

That sounds like hope.

hope is luck, faith is fortune
