Quote:faith - complete trust or confidence in someone or something.

Yep...just as I said, and the opposite of uncertainty and doubt. You really have nothing left to argue at this point and are just trying to get the last word. So have at it, if that's what you construe as winning an argument.

Yep, you had to completely ignore the definition relevant to religious faith.
That's intellectual dishonesty, which isn't surprising in light of your dogmatic beliefs.
