Babbling tripe of the ignorant.
Faith is the antithesis of knowledge.
The original meaning of faith was knowledge. That is the meaning it
still keeps in expressions like "giving faith." You don't give faith
of something you do not know.
More babbling tripe.

From the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary:
-in faith : without doubt or question : VERILY

VERILY: 1 : in truth : CERTAINLY
2 : TRULY, CONFIDENTLY

I prefer Tom Robbins' definition from his "Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates":

"Faith is believing something you know isn't true."
