<<Faith is like saying "I know I can do it because that is who I am and that is what I do": Trust is like saying "I imagine I can do it because you can't stop me and because I haven't yet proven that I cannot".>>

faith and trust i would pu differently:

faith: "i have faith that i can do it because you havent proven *to me* why i cant" just how hard it is too prove someone is about their stubborness or the potency of the faith meme they have.

trust: "i have preformed similar functions, and therefore i trust i can preform this one"

applied to the second and third person:
faith: "i have faith that he/she/you can do it because you havent proven
*to me* why he/she/you cant"

trust: "he/she/you has preformed similar functions, and therefore i trust he/she/you can preform this one"

for faith you could also say: you have said that you could preform other functions and have not failed me yet (regardless if they were similar functions) and so i have faith that you can preform this function.

is that a good way of separating faith from trust? ~the great tinkerer
