Faith in faith?

Wow, two days in a row....

A Unitarian Universalist student student said once that what he believed in was faith, and when I asked him faith in what, his answer was faith in faith. I don't mean to disparage him -- he was doing the best he could -- but it struck me that having faith in faith was as barren as being in love with love or having money that you spend only on the accumulation of more money.
