   "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."
