It’s hard for me to understand how some people can live without faith. There are many people out there who do not conform to any spiritual belief system. They don’t attend a church or claim a religion or even have a moral code that they could explain to others.I always thought faith was easy. Having faith anyway, choosing what to have your faith in is harder. Is it in the God of the Bible, the Qur'an, the Taisho, the Tanakh or the Torah? Is it in science and what can be seen and felt? Is it in the ability to keep life moving in a forward direction?
It not only confuses me but it pains me when I find someone who has no faith. None. How is that even possible? You should have faith strictly on the basis that you are living and breathing and there HAS TO be a reason for that, but dont get a big head and think it's to make the world a better place. Only a fraction of a percent of people get born with that responsibility; Jesus, Muhammad, Gandhi, Levi Strauss, Alfred Peet.
You need faith to believe that you were made, created or fashioned by something greater than you. You need faith to believer that when you die there is a reward for your faith. Be that Heaven, Moksha, Jannah, Valhalla, Tír na nÓg, or Tamoanchan. I don’t care what you believe. As long as you believe in something. Anything. There are a plethora of religions and spiritual roads for you to take; there is no reason for you to not have decided on one of them.
Far be it for me to tell anyone they cannot exercise their free will. However someone refusing to believe in anything other than the fact that they believe in nothing are not exercising their free will they are exercising their free won’t.

who inspired this one?
Believing there is no God is still faith...actually, it takes more "faith" to believe there is no God than it does to believe there is one. Just ask a medical doctor or a new mother who just witnessed her baby being born...I just love LOGIC...kind of like the belief (faith) that we humans evolved from monkeys...or tadpoles....LOGIC: If so, why are there STILL monkeys and tadpoles? Duh....
