Faith and belief are on in the same. You have to believe in things you can't see nor prove to anyone else. At the end of "A Miracle on 34th Street," Natalie Woods' character repeats a phrase her mother had told her, "Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to." I can't think of a fairer way to say it.

I admire all people of all faiths who try and follow the often convoluted teachings of their different religions. I don't understand them, but I admire them for their ability to suspend reason.

I think to have faith we must have religion too. We must find a good religion to believe about anything like this simple question are human only life in this world? Where is our destination after we death?


myLot reputation of 76/100. RevSkull (241)  4 years ago

It is impossible that we are the only planet in the universe with life. Nothing we know of can live long enough to reach another planet that can sustain life. Where we go when we die depends on what we plan for our funeral arrangements...into the ground, into a crypt, or into an urn.

I believe there should be something occult,but I don't believe the riligion.Maybe there should be some new face of the world we don't know.At least,nobody could show me any evidence.We can't say there is no so there is no,right?


myLot reputation of 76/100. RevSkull (241)  4 years ago

I think I understand your message. The occult is just modern forms of ancient non-Christian practices. Much of what today's Christians think of as being a part of their religion is actually distilled from pagan beliefs. Like today for instance, on our side of the globe (the Americas), it is Sunday. When the Romans were forced to convert to Christianity by Constantine, they kept Sunday as their worship day and moved the Sabbath from its traditional place of Friday evening to Saturday evening.

Man has always wondered what is out there beyond our sight...the more we explore, the more marvelous things we see and the further away any evidence of things outside of ourselves.

I disagree. With u. I think religion need for our guidence to life in this short live. I give you simple question why you born in this world. What is the destination of your life?


ashtower (15)   ranked 512 out of 916 in believer  4 years ago

You ask me the distinction?I don't know,there are so many things that we haven't understand.But if I have to say,I think,and I don't know why,there should be another world like this oneand I think live forever is a suffering(too much memeries or with the time goes on,the person tho have more knowledge will have more and more knowleage,the person who have less will have less and less,and couse problems or something else),so we change our lives in different world in order to forget these things and have a the same startline.And may be for some reasons(maybe for this projection's safe and not be damaged),wo don't know this side.
But I have to say,this is just my thinking,maybe too simple or unconsidered.I am just sharing my poor thought with my poor English.think you for reading:=)

To believe in something is substantially different from having a strong faith for what you believe in. I may believe that the United States Government exists, however I may have little to no faith in it's systemic value. The bible encourages faith that is undergrided by love. Many may believe a transcendent causer of the universe, yet to begin to have faith in Him; one must first adopt a sense of love or care for Him. Furthermore, faith should be undergirded by rational thought; while belief is the logical outworking of well developed rational thought.

I agree with you. To believe is different from having faith. Faith as it is written, is "a substance of things hoped for...the evidence of things not seen." am i right on the quote? SOme religion needed evidence for their faith. That, for me is not faith. It could be evidence for what they believe in, so that their faith will become stronger. But for some religion, faith is faith is faith. I mean, when you have it, then you have it. I mean, :) it starts with something really personal. Because faith is a personal thing.
