“Flyers have faith in Bobrovsky” reads the headline on the web page, http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm. Here’s another take on “having faith”. Some people, apparently, have faith in another human bering.
Many people had faith in Osama bin Laden. Others had faith in President George W. Bush. Many have faith in the Chicago Bulls. Few have faith in the Chicago Cubs.
“Have faith”, say many. When is it a pseudo-sophisticated form of wishful thinking?
Even having faith in Jesus can be a form of wishful thinking. Preachers rant on TV that you can have faith in Jesus to get a new car, a great career, or to close that deal that will put big bucks in your hip pocket (or bank account). It may be simply wishful thinking.
