That is an incorrect definition of faith. Think of faith as a trust
built
from many things including evidence.
Except that it isn't. Invariably, whenever you get down to it in a
religious discussion and try to get a believer to bring in evidence,
they fail and says "my faith tells me its so". That isn't belief
built on evidence, thats blind acceptance of certain tenets, with no
evidence to support it and frequently ignoring evidence to the contrary.
Invariably, huh? Sounds to me like either you completely dismiss any
evidence they do present as non-evidence or you have never gotten "down
to it in a religious discussion" with an informed believer. I stipulate
that you hold your "evidence to the contrary" in such regard so as to
trump any and all evidence that could possibly be presented by "a
believer" because I seriously doubt that "*invariably* ... they fail" to
bring in evidence.
