I love your sentiment alanajoy (npub14xu…428l) but disagree with your premiss. You say faith is belief in something you can’t see and touch, then later you talk about using your past accomplishments as evidence. Those past accomplishments are exactly those things that you saw felt and touched. You can believe in them because you did them and based that you can have faith that you’re capable of at least accomplishing as much or more.
Faith is not delusional, it is evidence based in every respect.
Delusion is what alanajoy (npub14xu…428l) defines as “p retending you know something you don’t know”.
