This is obviously, an admittance that you don't know with complete certainty that God does actually exist. So why use faith? Would you not rather want to actually know with certainty that God does exist? So why use faith? Does it seem right to you that what you have faith in could actually be based on an untruth - a lie?
So what is faith to you and why do you have it?
