I have faith in :
1. Myself. 2. Other people. 3. My country. 4. My culture. 5. The laws of physics. 6. The laws of faith. 7. The laws of fate (determinism and cause and effect) 8. Open or even combinatorial frequencies. 9. Freewill!
10. That the truth can never be permanently forgotten. 11. That good and evil is true - That justice is real! 12. Becoming a character in a story where people live extraordinary lives with other things and people. 13. The knowledge that death may A) Not be real.. Or B) be able to be defeated.
Please share topics you have faith in..

A newly peaked interest of mine, the dhenu mudra, the wish-fulfilling cow, Surabhi.
I told someone I would offer a mudra - I use mudras some in practice as routine, and hadn't recently thought much more about them - but the subject was brought up and I used the mudra for them and everyone, and I noticed the energetic change in the body from using the mudra, just holding it, using it more commonly. I researched it and adopted a mantra.

Faith for me is all-inclusive. I either got it or forgot it.

Nothing. Faith is blind belief in something. Belief should be well justified, rational, informed, and willing to change based on sufficient high quality evidence.
We're all filled with a million biases that we're not even aware we have, hidden desires that influence the things we think are logical and rational, we justify even unjustifiable beliefs and feel more strongly about them than things that are real and actually well justified, and we're not even aware of it. Blind faith just invites all that in and makes it worse. It is the antithesis of what we should be striving for.

If we're filled with so many subconscious biases, how can we be sure that our beliefs are informed and rational? We can, and do, consistently find information, science, facts, whatever you want to call it, to support almost any belief.

Sounds like a good time!

At a public restroom I saw written on the stall: "for a good time call 1-800-GOD" so i dialed it, He picked up in person, came over with the white van right away and I have to say: it IS a good time!

Faith is more like belief in love, or good will. An act of good faith is understandable in the the world. Or it is like a necessary priming, or fuel for something to occur. The concept is everywhere, as in with contracts - someone offers first all the time. The cafe gave me a meal, though they didn't see my money yet, but had evidence of things not seen.

I think that every person has and uses having faith in many things in life and day to day.
A person that gets in a car or on a plane puts faith into practice in that they believe they will make the journey.
As for those who believe (have faith) in the God of the Bible, most do not have blind faith, but draw upon many things (big and small) that gives their faith validity. An example of this is the Universe itself, they look at it and stand in awe of God's power to create.
Here's one example

In religious terms, sometimes faith is used in context of being able to perform miracles..
