Faith makes people think that Jesus rose from the dead.
No sir. Faith SUBSTANTIATES the fact that Jesus rose from the dead.
Faith makes people think that the murder of the world's entire population [aside from one family] was morally sound.
No. Delusion or obsessed presumption may lead to such a horrific act.
Faith makes people think that Hebrew genocides were morally sound.
Not so.
The reason for the judgment upon Canaanite peoples was because of the level of iniquity was intolerable to the world.
There were still Amalekites left after judgment upon them.
PLUS the fact that the very ISraelites themselves were equally judged by God in the Promised Land manifeting that God was no respector of persons.
This was a bitter lesson that they had to learn from the Babylonian captivity and the simiklar divine judgment recorded in Lamentations. Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Isaiah all warned that God would similarly judge them if they in like manner sunk into the sins of the people they had replaced.
Faith makes people think that slavery was morally sound.
No. Presumption and begotry thought that in the same manner in which
presumption and bigotry thought some humans were more evolved then others.
Thanks to your Charles Darwin who you venerate.
Faith makes people think that executing homosexuals was [or even is] morally sound.
My faith believes the New Testament says all manner of sins may be forgiven men.
"Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." (Matt. 12:31)
Modern day spiritual darkness under the guise of libertarian freedom assumes the sex of a person may be decided by that person regardless of their physiology.
Faith knows that there is NO command to execufe anyone to death for anything in the New Testament. Though it does say some things in God's sight are worthy of death.
"Being filled with all unrighteousness, wikedness, covetousness, malice, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malighnity; whisperers, slanderers, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boasters, inventors of evil tjhinghs, disobedient to parents, sensless, faithless, affectionless, merciles; who, though fully knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are WORTHY of death, not only do them, but also have fellow delight in those who practrice them." (Rom. 1:29-32)
Faith realizes that by a certain time all of us are worthy of death and are in need of a Savior from our sins - many more there are besides same sex love making.

Faith makes people think that eternal torture is somehow morally coherent.
Faith believes there is Christ took the need for men to be saved from God's righteous judgment seriously to the point of pouring out His own innocent and perfectly right life on behalf of us sinners.

( 1 rtim. 1:13-16)
Faith makes people think that the Book of Revelation isn't just a bunch of manipulative mumbo jumbo.
Faith realizes that the design, structure, prophetic nature, and composition of the book of Revelation cannot be discribed as "a madman's dream."
Faith makes people think that the Gospels were written by people who met Jesus.
Matthew, John, Peter, were disciples of Jesus for three and one half years.

And Mark was an assistant to the Apostle Peter.
And it is hard to know what to call the foolishness of one who thinks the DNA molecule came about by lucky accidents OR is so sneaky to be non-commited to take a stand slealthfully avoiding claiming a definite position.
It is hard to know what to call the foolishness of one who puts others under his microscope of moral evaluation to pronounce thier level of ethical rightness and thinks he himself will not be judged one day according to the same level of divine scrutiny.
"For with the judgment you judge, you shall be judged; and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you." (Matt. 7:2)

Presumption such as you have hopes no higher authority exists in all being then one's own self excusing ego.

Presumpton also assumes a closer commarodary between a self identifying Christian and an Agnostic / Atheist than a spiritual brotherhood of a Christian and a fellow Christian.
Presumption leads to a alledged disciple of Jesus constantly relishing in the support of an atheist.
@sonship saidYour faith makes you use words like "realize", "recognize" and "verify" as if you were talking about objective facts.

Faith, real faith is the reaction within to truth of God's being.
It is impossible to be well pleasing to God without faith.
"But without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to HIm, for he who comes forward to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Heb. 11:6)
