I used to
hate the
idea of
Faith. It seemed to me
blind,
unquestioning belief in
something unprovable that, well, had a
tendency to cause
Holy Wars.
Ick. That is, until I
found mine.
Suddenly
I get it. Faith is a
forced step back from the
sum total of our
Earthly situation...it is a
story that you can
use to
guide you from an
imagined outside perspective. You can use
somebody else's story if you like it, or you can
find your own, like I did. Man, the day I got
my story was
amazing. Er...I guess that's been
said before, though, hasn't it? "
Amazing Grace....The hour I first
believed..."
Weird.
Anyway, they're all
made-up, but for the
purpose I have discovered Faith has, these stories are
as real as they need to be. They allow anybody who
believes in them to
look at life from an
idealistic,
overhead view of their choice. If you
find a Faith you like and
stick to it, it makes
making decisions one Hell of a lot easier.
And that's what I figured out about Faith.
