Faith is a virtue of certitude that has to exist without even an aorta of distrust or doubt.
Ancient Hindu scriptures depict the story of great devotee Prahlada, the son of demon king Hiranyakasyapa. Hiranyakasyapa challenges the existence of God and goes to the extent of torturing his very son to prove his point. To the madness of the demon father, the child Prahlada responds with a smile and counterchallenges that the all-pervading God could be realized in any object, animate and inanimate. The proud demon king kicks on the post near-by ridiculing how God could be found in an inert object such as a brick wall or a post. Vishnu appearing in the form of Lion-faced Narasimha, kills Hiranyakasyapa and rescues His devotee Prahlada from the torture of the evil.
