Asking question is one of the foundation of freedom to think. Even asking the basis of your faith is one of them. For some people this questioning does not matter anymore because they have already relegated questions on faith to their established institutions like church, school and faith.
For some people, questioning the faith is the foundation to have a clearer picture of the faith. naturally speaking, it would be impossible to embrace a certain belief if it is not proven according to standards set.
Faith is important. It is a moving force. thisn force could be used either for good or bad purposes.
What is the basis of your faith? Is faith still important in this world?

I am not a religious person in that sense, I have spiritul beliefs, I tend to believe more in my inner voice which I think is my spiritual guiding, I think because there are so many religions and so many books,who wrote these books nobody knows so there has to be some doubt on them all but I think you can not go wrong if you listen to that inner voice.

When you have faith you have hope. When you have hope you have everything! Of course it's important. Without faith we wouldn't believe in anything not even ourselves. The basis of my faith is believeing in a higher being.....and finding strength in that belief.
