1. I think faith is a shaped conviction you place irrespective of probability. I think that belief is blind conviction you build your faith upon. I believe in concepts, ideas, & philosophies, not in people. To me that says that what I put faith into has lasting, not temporary, clout… that does not mean that I cannot, based on my belief, put my faith in people.

    People are temporary, ideas are not…so if I put belief into ideas, not people I’ve done right, because then I can still have faith in a person, but it wouldn’t be done by comparison to any other person, rather, it would be shaped upon something that will not fall (I’d have belief THROUGH a person, by way of faith, not belief IN a person, and faith then being based on that)…

    However, this is a dangerous paradigm, because I base if off of the notion of a well formed belief system. I think the goal is to realize all of these things so I CAN find and live in that well formed belief system on a level above that of which I know now.
