Answer: No


Question: Do you have faith in God?


Reason:  I don’t have faith in God, because faith is defined as spiritual apprehension rather than proof.


Answer: Yes


Question: Do you believe in God?


I have enough reasonable evidence to believe in God and hence there is no need to have “faith” in God.


Sidebar:  The thought that humans are the highest rung on life’s ladder is impossible for me to wrap my head around.  It in fact creates waves of nausea for me.  Suppose humans are the greatest form of life - that humans are capable of deciding right from wrong, good from bad, acceptable from unacceptable.  We all have proof, and some of it in color, that according to some humans, other humans are not worthy of basic human rights.  The right to life, the right to self-determination.  Some humans are responsible for the greatest of evil deeds - real genocide in fact.


Additionally, a belief in God creates a moral obligation to do good.  You accept the burden of answering to a “higher authority”, a higher rung on the ladder than the one we stand upon. 


Wishes for a great day, each one a gift

Hugs too,
