I haven’t had the time to read the entire series yet, but this is what he has to say about the nature of faith: Faith is a major tenet of all religions. In Witchcraft, Wicca and Paganism we normally don’t hear that word used. I’ve heard some say that “Faith” is a Christian idea that does not apply to Paganism. Perfect trust, though is faith. When you have perfect trust in yourself, it is the same as having faith in yourself. Perfect trust in others is another way of saying you have faith in them. Having perfect trust in the Gods is to have faith in Them. When one truly has faith in the Universe, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

Since I am not Christian, I have no opinion about the Bible. I see it as a similarly sacred book as the Torah, Quran, etc. As to your assertion that the Bible says that there is only one God, I have to disagree. Exodus 20:3 states, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." It does not say that there are no other Gods, but that Abrahamic peoples (including Jews, Christians and Muslims who use these early books of the law in their scripture) can't worship other Gods as being higher than YHWH. Interestingly, Genesis 1:26 states, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..." Notice the use of the plural "our" in the statement. I used the KJV for these quotes. Thanks for the comment. The Bible is a book sacred to Christians. Since I am not Christian, I have no opinion about the Bible. I see it as a similarly sacred book as the Torah, Quran, etc.
