You're a smart guy..and I respect that, but you can't trust in something that can't betray you, and faith is a bit too extreme. But a person can believe in anything. Anything at all...people used to believe the world was flat, that there was a god (Helios) carrying the sun back and forth. A person can believe in himself, or someone else. Believe is about as neutral as it gets.

To me the words are pretty much interchangeable. Faith = belief = trust to some extent. How can you for example believe in something that can never betray you? What kind of statement is 'My toaster will warm the bread... B_E_L_I_E_V_E?

Lol. My toaster will warm the bread...Believe. That is actually really funny. You could say that...what if you were talking to an Amish person?

Then you're trying to convince him that modern technology actually works!
