Why can't you believe you have two feet based upon faith alone? If you had never seen your feet and had never walked anywhere, but you read a book that said you had feet, you could take it on faith that you did, could you not?
NO, it does not depend upon "what truth you are trying to find out". Truth is truth (sorry for the tautology). There is only truth. It does not matter what specific thing you are trying to determine the truth of is. That does not change the nature of what truth is..

Love with compassion and justice (fairness) for all, along with a belief in God.
As simple as that sounds, the reality is that it ain't. This is the "narrow path" that Jesus talked about, and his Parable of the Sheep & Goats demonstrates this. IOW, it's easy to believe in some things about Jesus but much more difficult to live in what he taught, especially if we are not willing to put God and Jesus first and not take the attitude "Well, if it's convenient I'll follow".
It's like what a priest at my wife's church used to periodically say: "Joe thought he was going to heaven for what he did on Sunday, but he went to hell for what he did on Monday".
