Faith is only faith in situations when something isn't known.
If X is known with 60 pct probability, and we take an action towards an intended outcome that presumes X's correctness, we can say we have some faith in X. In other words: in addition to our knowledge about X, some faith is required.
Now, suppose we know with 99.9 pct probability that X is true? Taking an action that presumes X's correctness would not require much faith. In fact, even saying that you have faith would sound false, if the listener knew of your knowledge.
Assuming God is all knowing, he cannot have faith.
God, in other words, is faithless.
If he does exist, I feel sorry for the bugger. Faith is a wonderful thing.
