What about something non-tangible...love? Can you have faith in love? Sure. But don't you also have knowledge of it? From mommy or from a lover. Consider people who don't have some knowledge of love. They don't have faith in it, do they?

You don't have to have experienced it to have faith in it. Nor does experiencing it mean that it exists.

We may track down a cannibal killer by understanding and having faith in his need to cannablize without any experience of it ourselves.

Experiencing that co-workers are trying to get you fired does not mean that they are ( the "wanting to get me fired" doesn't exist, I merely experienced it).

Experiencing something is not evidence of it's existance, it takes more than that.

Re: never say never
 

for the most part if i experience something than it exists. the only exception would be if i were mentally incompetent.

we know the cannibals eats people its a fact thats the only reason why we can have faith in it. if it were not known people would be debating the issue like god.

As I've always said, theres nothing an agnostic can't do if he really doesn't know whether he believes in anything or not.

Interesting. I usually take a belief in your first sentence as evidence of your second. If your claim was true, then we'll be in rough shape when you die because we'll have no way of knowing what exists and what doesn't.
