Faith is something that made our ancestors believe there was a Sun God, a Moon Goddess, a Rain God, purely because they couldn't explain what they saw.

Faith is believing in something without any hard evidence whatsoever. And it only sounds good to religious persons as they've been indocrinated with certain beliefs, that lead them to believe faith is good.

And about the respect other people's faith thing.. that needs to change, no one would respect you if you said you really believe in Zeus or Thor. Why should we give preference to the judeo-christian god ? Just because most of us were raised in catholic/christian countries ?

Any christian/catholic people in this forum would have been muslims instead if they were born say in Iran. Why? Because it's illegal to not believe there, they'll actually kill you for it (the whole infidel thing). You happen to believe in the judeo-christian god merely because you were born in ${COUNTRY}.
