The definition of faith calls things that are not as though they were. The world, and some Christian-atheists would call these same things lies. If we want future results we would think the Christian way. If just stating the static way then the present tense is fine and a favorable result is side tracked.
Before we speak of anything like this today we first must define our terms. Sadly, many Christians are found calling faith all lies just because they do not know the definition of faith. The observation that God is nonsense is almost always concluded based on their reaction observing hypocrite Christians. In addition, as Jesus said, Christians are stupid compared to the children of the world.
