Faith...

If you are religious, how do you rationalise yours? I realise you are not really supposed to, as it part of you, but surely you must question your belief?

I am an atheist so it is an alien concept to me. I just see no reason/evidence for the existence of a God.

I am not judging or saying you are wrong, just fascinated.

I am God.

Azza · 19 Feb 2011 at 21:27

I am the God.

G-MAN2004 · 19 Feb 2011 at 21:27

I am also God.

Andr3w · 19 Feb 2011 at 21:28

I am YOUR god

Now start to worship me!

Spit · 19 Feb 2011 at 21:29

I now have faith! Thank you.

I am Faithless but God is a DJ and heaven is a half-pipe.

You must have faith (my child). In fact I insist you have faith. In me.

For I am your one true god you guys, not these other jokers.

I think faith is the fact that you don't question your beliefs.

This comes up every couple of weeks. Where the thread eventually gets to is as follows :

Non-believers : You guys suck!
Believers : No, you!
Non-believers : No, YOU!
Believers : You take that back!
Non-believers : No, YOU take that back

* everyone /rage quits *

I am Q.

to me its something i can't explain. I was never religious but things have happened to me at times that i just can't explain.

All i think is it is beyond human comprehension

I'm a Muslim. I don't question my faith.

I reckon Christians must regularly question their belief in God,
whereas atheists just don't bother thinking and go along with whatever everyone else thinks is cool.
I reckon the number of atheists who've sat down and really thought about it, is a pretty small minority.

Generally I reckon most people would prefer to do whatever they felt like doing, rather than try and emulate the rather more prescriptive life of a religious figure.

Is not Faith all about questions and interpretation?

Otherwise it is just indoctrination.

No, it's worse than that, it all boils down to:

Non-Believers: You can't prove there is a god!
Believers: You can't prove there isn't a god!

And then Castiel will come into the Thread with 80+ Posts quoting Wikipedia to all and sundry as usual. And somewhere in the middle the Muslims will show up. It'll get to 6-10 pages and die a death, then on the third day it will be resurrected...NO! Wait...
