![]() The dimensions of the term "faith": 1. Trust: an empirically justified confidence. Trust given unfounded, in advance, is belief (in ordinary language: "I trust you in good faith") - it means one hopes the other is meeting one'S expectations, empirical hints for that the other will comply, there are none. 2. Belief: a claimed knowledge one has made oneself to believe to know, or has been told and lectured to believe that one knows, but therefore believing exclusively. Can be religion-linked, but must not be, and is often met in more profane contexts as well. Can condensate in ritualized practices and traditions that then become their own purpose of existence, basing on a dogmatized expression of the original belief. Hence: the building of an ideology-based motivation. Both in profane and religious contexts it can become anankastic and /or delusional (psychopathologic). 3. Religion: a cult basing on the religious aspects of what has been said under "2. Belief". Religions are cultic/ritualized behavior patterns that justify their practice by referring to a.) historic tradition ("it has always been done and thought like this because the dogma says so") or b.) individual interpretation by the subject what it believes the original basis of the religious dogma (the fundament as referred to under point 2. ) once has been about. Both represents ritualized, cultic behavior and thinking patterns, the first by groups, the second by "freethinking" individuals that are attracted by the idea to live by their own "religious conviction", and often are seen as heretics by the first (groups). - Belief as described under 2.) can result to the forming of a religion, if a sufficiently big group of individuals come together and unite to share a consensus. And what are areligious people? That are people refusing to play by any of the rules described under 2.) and 3.). They can be great supporters of the concept under 1.), though: putting their trust where they realise the empirical justification.

![]() Local expertise eh? ![]() Is that why you have previously insisted that Iran is a Sunni muslim country? ![]() What this topic needs is some pretty Turkish ladies, then Skybull will really frazzle his dazzling expertise and possibly go into a full eurabian conspiracy melt down. Quote:

Many 'Middle Eastern' women are just plain gorgeous.
One that we all know here in the 'States' is Catherine Bell.

One of my favorite episodes of JAG had an officer exchange between an American and a Russian ship. The two American officers departed and two Russians came on board. 'Mac' welcomed them on board, then walked through the watertight door in her tight skirt. In Russian, with English subtitles, one of the officers says "She's a marine???", and his buddy replies (still in Russian) "God bless America!!"
