You can have faith in your children Or faith in your favourite football team
but the type of faith that is destructive is the faith in God or Allah or whatever other imaginary friend you can create.

What if you have faith in one of your family members and then they abuse you? Isn't that destructive? Claiming examples at the human-level acceptable to have faith in while negating faith in God is a double standard.

If I have a dream wherein which, lets say, God coms down to me and tells me that...so and so must die, because it is the will of God. Now some people claim this [Ala George Bush "I was told by god to invade Iraq"] and I believe (I have religious faith) in God, then if I act on that Faith a person loses their life...Oh dear..Faith aint so good now is it.

Faith is not as simplistic as you are claiming it to be. There are different levels of faith and it involves many things.
