Transplanting responsibilities from the individual to a controlling power source is what the world considers faith to be. It's a method of structuring power. Corrupt persons need a source power, because they are nothing without power which can override justice.

In this scheme, irresponsibility is the essence of corrupt faith. So, of course, real responsibility is closely related to correct faith. Real responsibility is functioning in a constructive way, which allows people to interact properly. They then trust each other to play a role in complex functions. Relying upon others is what faith is. But it has prerequisites which create reliability. This includes all elements of constructivity, such as competence, knowledge and morality.

This subject encompasses such a large part of morality that faith is commonly used as a reference to religion. Faith is an end result of morality, so it is easily destroyed by sin. Corrupters, particularly satan, misdirect faith in attempting to control people.

The classical example of misdirected faith is worship of wooden idols. Can the wood speak? Can it solve anyone's problems? People are supposed to disconnect their minds, so the power mongers who speak for the wood can control them.

Faith is a product of a mind, which must be properly developed. Lack of faith is a disconnection of a mind and transplantation of responsibilities elsewhere. The world, being under satan's control and being taught its standards by satan, teaches people to disconnect their minds, so they can be controlled. Control is the obsession of all corrupters.

Moral persons cannot easily be subjectively controlled. Christ said, "judge for yourselves what is just" (Luke 12:57). Morality is about properly functioning minds making proper decisions. Transferring the responsibilities is a total subversion of constructivity. Transferred responsibilities always go to the most corrupt persons who dominate and control. Moral persons do not subjugate the responsibilities of others.

There is nothing constructive that can be done with power over other persons. Of course, corrupt persons lust for power over other persons. For this reason, avoiding such a result is necessary for sustaining life. Moral persons attempt to correct the problem by promoting "self-evident and inalienable rights." Corrupters, or course, do the opposite. They promote domination by converting everyone into mindless pawns under the control of power mongers. Dictators are not the only example. With the global warming hype, corrupters degrade critics for supposedly putting themselves above supposedly peer reviewed science as supposedly represented by a group of control freaks on the International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC). The public has a responsibility to hold authorities accountable. Not doing so is shifting responsibilities.

Faith is intelligent persons making constructive decisions. Domination is the opposite. It is control freaks reducing people to mindless pawns who do nothing but serve the persons above them.

Notice what Christ said about subservience. When asked about faith, he said (Luke 17:5,6):

If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this sycamore, 'Be uprooted and transplanted into the sea,' and it would obey you.

Why should not the same thing apply to all control freaks as to the sycamore? Why not tell control freaks to jump in the ocean? Faith is holding frauds accountable, not turning one's life over to them.

Christ also said (Mat 20:25-28);

You know how those who exercise authority among the Gentiles lord it over them; their great ones make their importance felt. It cannot be like that with you. Anyone among you who aspires to greatness must serve the rest, and whoever wants to rank first among you must serve the needs of all.

Christ is describing subservience without domination. To serve the needs of all is to function constructively with proper rationality and knowledge acquired through study.

Since domination is not constructive, shifting responsibilities to control freaks is not constructive and is not faith. There is a tendency to corrupt religion by shifting responsibilities to God as supposed faith. Nowhere does Christ describe shifting of human responsibilities to God. When Christ said to trust in God for material needs (Mat 6:30), he was saying not to seek riches, because material concerns are corruptions, and eternal concerns are the correct purpose in life. So he was not shifting human responsibilities away from humans, as corrupters do; he was describing proper responsibilities. Corrupters do not want people to have responsibilities, because they would be competing for reality control by doing anything but snapping to the whims of dominators.

In Hebrews (which was not written by Paul) (11:1), faith is described as "confident assurance concerning what we hope for, and conviction about things we do not see." Confident assurance and conviction require properly functioning minds. Faith is a quality of the mind. It's not a transference process, like paying taxes or hiring a gardener. Power mongering is a transference process.

Rather than a transference process, faith in God is doing and learning. God created human life for the purpose of overcoming sin. Getting it done is faith in God.
