Of course, religious groups will attempt to define faith in a way that favors their outlook.Then no religious group defines faith the way you do. Let's be fair and honest, shall we?I don't do arguments from authority.Name one religious group that defines faith that way and post a link to document it."Faith" is when a person believes something emotionally but the "something" cannot be observed.
It is like the distinction folks make between organized religions and cults. Of course religious people would carve an exemption for themselves out of the idea of cult, because if they didn't, they would need to admit they were cultists.
When someone looks from the outside, in, however, we can see how neurotic and insane it is to make such special pleas.
All organized religions are cults, and if people in organized religions dislike this, they should quit being members of a cult.
