Is "faith" a form of self-hypnosis?
Many religious ritual practices share aspects with techniques of hypnosis and self-hypnosis. "Faith" seems to have much in common with self-hypnosis, including a continual reinforcement of the positive message (whatever that might be) in order to block out any contraindicating events or factors in the outside world. This might be a good thing if viewed as self-help system. Or is it self indoctrination?

I’d say that it’s more self delusion.
Faith in christ will never disapoint you.
God loves you….
