faithful

Undying and relentless support for an individual or group of individuals, a sentiment that can easily span 86 years.

Yet still we are faithful; to steal the title of a movie that played in New England this past spring, still we believe. Tonight we'll once again fill the old green church of baseball on Lansdowne Street, in some part because it's the only church of baseball on Lansdowne Street, in some part because it's the only church of baseball we have; in large part because--even on mornings like this, when the clean-shaven Yankee Corporate Creed seems to rule the hardball universe--it's still the only church of baseball we can really love. No baseball team has ever come back from a three-games-to-none deficit to win a postseason series, but a couple of hockey teams have done it, and we tell ourselves it has to happen sooner or later for a baseball team, it just has to. We tell ourselves Derek Lowe has one more chance to turn 2004 from tragickal to magickal. We tell ourselves it's just one game at a time. We tell ourselves the impossible can start tonight. -Steven King in FAITHFUL, a chronicle of the 2004 season, on Red Sox fans going into Game 4 of the ALCS

faith

As defined by dictionary.com:

2.Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence.

"We may define "faith" as the firm belief in something for which there is no evidence. Where there is evidence, no one speaks of "faith." We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence. The substitution of emotion for evidence is apt to lead to strife, since different groups, substitute different emotions."
— Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Third album of the cure. It's sad and grey, but oh so good.

There's nothing left but faith

faith

1. religion, with a trust and loyalty & belief in God or a god.
2. a belief invented by a business organisation that is unfalsifiable but is obeyed because such a business said so, this is especially the case with AMORC, Scientology and even solipsism.
3. confidence and trust.

I have faith that the groceries will arrive on time before long.
My religion is my faith, I trust in God.
My only faith is science.
I have a faith in the Rosicrucian Order because I trust in no literal God.

faith

A girl with the brightest, most beautiful green eyes you could possible see. She has shiny blond/brown hair and never has a bad hair day. She never complains and is the coolest chick to hang out with. Absolutely one of the biggest badasses I’ve ever met. She seems to flirt with almost every guy in the school with how nice she is but will never date, probably never. If you know a faith like I do, you are the luckiest person around and make sure to know that.

Joey -“Hey man, I think I’m pretty into the girl she was giving me that vibe ya know.”
Joey’s friend - “Faith?! That’s funny, she’s the hardest girl to get with don’t you know?”
