On Faith

I never think that I'm on the same page when I talk with someone I don't know about faith- and I am usually right in thinking that. Everyone who has faith in things different than I do seems to want to deny that they have any faith at all. What is it about faith that is hard to define? Why is it so often compared to reason when the two do not describe the same things. They apples and oranges and yet they get treated like apples and rotten apples. The point is, it is a good policy to avoid using vocabulary that you really cannot define yourself.
