“Faith in the Rain.” A survey from PlanetShifter.com Magazine

 

Faith is confidence or trust in a person, thing, deity, or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion. 

It is also belief that is not based on proof. In religion, faith often involves accepting claims 

about the character of a deity, nature, or the universe. Some argue that faith is opposed to reason. 

The word faith is often used as a substitute for hope, trust or belief. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith

  • There should be at least some reasoning behind a functional modern approach to faith (as opposed to fanaticism). What is spirituality nowadays? If I (or someone else) don't believe in anything supernatural, can I still be devoted to a higher cause (trying, failing, and still trying) because I comprehend "the consequences of having no faith"? I hope so.
