I just has one of the many debates with my mother on Faith. She is forever bringing it up. So i will extend this one to you all.

Can you have faith without having to have faith in a higher power (by any name).

My mother says No, you can not. It is through faith of God (just for ease of use) that gives you the ability to have faith in everything else.

I say Yes you can. Now I do have faith in god. So she may be right. I have faith that when the sun goes down tonight it will come up tomorrow. To me that is a different kind of faith.

Now she says that is because she raised me to have faith in god that allows me to have faith that the sun will come up.

I would like to have your input on this. Am I arguing apples and oranges with her. Or what is going on here.
