1993 July 5, Paul Judson Jr, “Re: Benny Hinn”, in soc.religion.christian (Usenet):I have heard Benny Hinn say a few "faithy" things, but overall he doesn't seem to go to extremes with hyperfaith doctrines from what I have seen.
1999 March 7, Nemo , “oh boy! A new GOD thread! :-)”, in alt.tv.pol-incorrect (Usenet):I don't like to see religions bashed for no better reason than they make embarassingly easy targets, and even though I can take the ribbing for a few turns, I see no reason to lie down and get stepped on just because I have a little faith in the undefinable and a few believe that equates to a vicious hatred of Darwin and/or a conviction that the world is flat. I always get angry (not wholly unjustifiably. One can only take you so many condescending "faithy" quips before the whistle blows) and wind up invalidating my own arguments.
2003 November 28, Uncle Davey , “Re: The Bible vs. the Enuma Elish and Gilgamesh”, in alt.atheism (Usenet):But you are supposed to be a skeptic, basing your beliefs on empirical proof, we are the faithy ones.
2005 July 21, Tani Jantsang, “Re: Religious and Atheist Amicability”, in alt.atheism (Usenet):Some things are known thru observation, testing, etc - scientific method. Other things are known by simply knowing them - eg: I exist here and now. The people who tend to "NEED" some kind of purpose for existing are empty inside - wanting - life itself is just not good enough for them. Too bad. But it's why they start to believe such faithy things.
2006 April 8, The RSF Group , “faith, nihilism, and farouth. are all religions about faith? the wow of love”, in rec.music.dylan (Usenet):i've only been to one set of dead concerts in 1990(alpine valley) and only as a curious onlooker but i got a sense that these people were spiritual for farouthy than faithy reasons.
2006 December 4, Gary Eickmeier, “Re: PROOF -- Christians Know The Bible is False -- They just pretend it's not.”, in alt.bible (Usenet):I can go along with your statements of faith and your warm toasty feelings, but to say that questioning all this is dishonest, whereas believing all of it hook, line, and sinker is honest, I must object. If you were honest with yourself, you would realize that you haven't seen any evidence of any of your faithy statements.
2007 May 6, Tom Kraemer, “Re: A semi-serious question”, in alt.religion.kibology (Usenet):Also, if you write something really 'faithy', he'll probably want to start dragging you to church and then you can forget about sleeping in on Sundays.
2007 June 19, A. Brain, “Re: OT Prokofiev's Wacky Politics”, in rec.music.classical.recordings (Usenet):Let's hope that it becomes one of the most influential books of all time and that politicians quit trying to show how "faithy" they are.
- 2011 — Sarah Posner, "Ralph Reed’s Group Goes after 'Union Thugs' in Wisconsin", Religion Dispaches, 21 July 2011:
- Reed, who profits both from his evangelical cred (which apparently hasn't faded, in spite of his questionable past) and his ability to put a faithy veneer on AFP's anti-union, anti-worker, anti-government crusade, has long advocated for the religious right to broaden its agenda to economic issues, a strategy that serves his own business interests.
