See, I'm not trapped into one mindset..rather, I see aspects in alot of things in which I can believe that these beliefs, ideas and values may be valid. If anything, I have trouble deciding on any one idea..but I guess that's not a bad thing in and of itself..it just keeps me open-minded.  |

Good post (maybe not a debate), but a good post. Now, just as people say "there is no God", I do not find that nearly as annoying as the statement "My God/Truth/Way is the ONLY way". Faith is an abstract idea, without absolutes. It is also individual, as individual as each person is. I see a lot of people responded, I will check back later for more replies.   |

Spirit Child, You are absolutely right. The worsed people think their personal set of beliefs (or lack thereof)must be embraced by everyone. I have a set of beliefs but enjoy learning about others. Learning about other beliefs does not threaten a deeply held personal faith.  |

I don't have any faith in faith, so to speak. It seems like a bandage to cover any holes torn by consciousness, if you get me.  |

Faith (in God) is a kind of relaxation process for me. One of my biggest foes was worry and anxiety. I worried about everything. Finally I asked God to take care of my problems, then just laid back and waited for things to happen. Suddenly or eventually I'd come up with ideas to resolve the problems, or the problems would resolve themselves. That's happened every time I've had a problem, and it's taken a lot of weight off my shoulders. I'm really not sure that it's God taking care of it. It could be that my relaxation (because of my belief) is allowing my brain to work on the problem. Whatever it is, it works for me. I'm not sure if I addressed the point of this post. And no, cyanide doesn't taste good, period.  |
