Faith, Religion, Beliefs, Principles, Honor, Morals, Character traits, Ethics and Self-Control all seem to be to blame for everyone's unhappiness and the evil of the World.
Trying to backup what I say is my belief system I began reading and researching to be able to "Scientifically Prove" the statements of the Bible. And more challenging, proving that Jesus Christ was more than a man.
How do you prove something that is interwoven throughout our culture and "religious texts" in so many translations and muliple accounts through out various literary works. So many have gone down this trail and written books about their findings. So many others have written books about how full of it the "Religious Sympathizers" were and showing how all of the faith based people were lesser vessel using religion to solve problems so they could enter into denial. Every point of dispute has three or four contradictions. The non-believers say you can't "Explain" the Bible is this or that and using different translations of the Bible is not accepted either. When up against other religious texts' and literary works statements are compounded and complex and utter chaos insues quickly. There is not great "PROOF" it is a heart matter, a deep innate "feeling" that there is a connection and a purpose and when you follow that line of thinking and research that desire and to explore what all the pieces of your personal existence are supposed to make, you are faced with a few decisions.
How did you get here? Creation or Evolution
What are your biological controling factors? male or female (gender mismatched, homosexual ect..)
What is the Controller of your life? yourself or something larger?
What are the requirements of you, your behaviors, thoughts ect...?
Religion and Faith are two very different beasts of debate and have been for Centuries. The Jews and Gentiles could not agree. The Jews and Pharisees, Catholics and Christians, Buddihists and others.. and then all the variation under each major religion.. enough to keep the dust from settling. But what is at the root of the discussion is PROOF, unrefutible, clear and evident hard proof that Jesus Christ is who so many say he IS. Well there is the first problem with this process.
Faith is defined by Merrium-Webster as :
a : allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions
2a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust
3: something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs

Therefore, the problem is not religion, or Faith. The problem is the lack of education, awareness and honest adherance to TRUTH, HONOR, RESPONSIBITY and ALLEGIANCE. Today the "Popular opinion" and Democracy are infiltrating everything and everyone's life stretching and removing any restrictions, rules, determination making life unstructured, unsecure and unfulfilled which helps the "needing and wanting" to become unquenchable and the desire for a rescuer allows people to transfer their allegiance to anything and anyone that appears to provide the "freedom" they want.
What do you believe? Whom is your allegience to? Why?
Trust in God is good for my soul and I will continue to BELIEVE and am more encouraged in where I choose to put my Faith so many years ago..
