If you're willing to bend your brain and use semi bad logic and take a couple things out of context there are a couple leaps that tie faith and certitude together. I personally like this because what I get from faith is in fact certitude.
The pedestrian view that faith is about belief without proof is a spoiled fruit, leaving me defeated when holding the idea inside. The proof of faith is the simple fact that I have it.
If faith and belief are synonyms, then with either I place 'trust and or confidence in a person or thing'. Neither of these things require proof. In trust the word confidence is used. Confidence also does not apparently require proof. One step down the line lurks certitude.
Please forgive me. It's 1am. I will come back and organize these thoughts.
I think what bothers me about the 'belief without proof' argument is that when talking about matter of faith, in the obvious context which I am speaking from, has no requirement of proof. One thing I would like to look at soon is if faith has any bounds within the principle of reason. Maybe it has no place in reason which is why the idea proof baffles me.
