Faith is the inner knowledge that what you believe in is true to the degree that you would gladly give your life for it. It is being secure in the knowledge that you are connected to God no matter what happens around or to you. It is being able to tritely say you do not fear death, just the pain that might accompany it. It is being able to forgive your rapist because God forgave you. It is knowing that no matter how bad you are God can never love you any less or any more than he all ready does, which is unconditionally and totally. Can other people have a faith this strong about another deity? Yes. That is why we must hold to our own beliefs yet respect others for theirs.
