I have a huge problem with this 'faith' concept.  Let's be honest, things do
have to be proved, there has to be some kind of evidence.  The faith word is
banded about to give creditability to things that haven't been proven and
based on normal reasoning can't be true.  To believe in something without
proof is basically surrendering to ignorance and brainwashing.

In my opinion everyone should be an Agnostic in the sense that, yes there
might be a God or a blue flying elephant, but as the existence of either of
these beings has never been established you have to take the position that
neither exist.  There might be a time in the future where the relevant proof
does exist.

Faith is saying, that I don't care that there is no proof I am just going to
blindly believe it anyway.  That is lunacy.

Belief in God is (supposed to be) strictly faith. Belief in science is
(supposed to be) strictly evidence.
