Speculations on what “faith” means could be quite broad, perhaps some praising faith and others rather negative

What would be the main and or supporting ideas to above statement?


They might find "faith" to be central to any religion, though the professor can challenge this assumption by asking of a religion might stress action more than belief, or if a religion can stress rationality, personal experience, or "proofs" more than belief. It is possible that "faith" implies trust, more than simply belief. The "faith" of Abraham as he went to offer Isaac as sacrifice is explored wonderfully in Søren Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling. The professor might also suggest that when Buddhists "take refuge" in the Buddha, this, too, is an example of faith as trust.
