Hami rasa benda ni ada dua perspective. Satu "religious faith" . dan sati lagi "faith" keatas seseorang lain.   Yang bulan postkan tu lebih kepada "religious faith".  Yang satu lagi tu ttg konfiden yang amat tinggi terhadap seseorang. Ini biasanya mempunyai sebab2 tertentu seperti kita mengenali dia sehingga tahu yang dia akan selalu berbuat sesuatu atau bertindak dengan teliti, misalnya. Jadi, lojiknya ada jugalah.

faith ? is it synonymous with TRUST ?

A fascinating study in Britain has suggested that those inclined towards religion tend to be happier than atheists or agnostics.

A study presented at the Royal Economic Society's annual conference in Coventry, Britain, suggested that religion can act as an "insurance policy" against distress.

Although the idea of religious belief as a "fortress" was not new, "this issue of insurance has surprisingly received only limited attention", the authors of the study were quoted as saying by Daily Mail .

The research used data from across Europe to study the impact of religious belief - both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction - on life satisfaction, as well as attitudes towards government policies.

According to the study, regular churchgoers appeared to cope better with distressful events such as divorce or unemployment.

It concluded that the "stress-buffering" effect varies according to the life event and religious denomination, but "churchgoing and prayer are also associated with greater satisfaction".

Lead researchers, Professor Andrew Clark and Dr Orsolya Lelkes, also suggested that faith in religion influenced political attitudes, the report said.

Moral codes, practices, values, institutions, tradition, rituals, and scriptures are often associated with the core religious belief, and these may have some overlap with concepts in secular philosophy.

Faith - lights us throught the dark to deity, faith builds a bridge across the gulf of death , to break the shock dat nature cannot shun and lands thought smoothly on the further shore.

perhaps the highest and purest form of faith is faith towards God....

Emotion - Logic = Paranoia?  :re:

Belief +/- Doubt +/- Insecurity +/- Fear, comes back full circle to Belief = Faith ?

May even be the most difficult to attain. People would ask why God allows this and that to happen. Some would just blindly follow suite.................

total submission of trusts therefore it is important to be preserved.

Generally, religion has the property of giving a person comfort during times of need. So I do concur with the result of the research.

Thamrong,

what is ur field of study?

Back to topic. Faith involves a belief that arrives from some kind of  transcendent source. The basis for a person's faith usually is understood to come from the authority of revelation. Revelation is either  through some kind of direct or indirect infusion. Beyond physical or sensual norms...

I am impress by your question and the answer. Sir Francis Bacon said  "A prudent question is one-half of wisdom."  An  answer is the wisdom. :hug:
