Faith is a belief in something that deep down you know isnt true.

"Faith" is the fallback answer when illogical beliefs are questioned.

"You gotta have faith".

I believe in love, I believe in music; I believe in magic(k). Things beyond reason.

All religions claim they witness miracles.

These things are almost by definition unprovable, they exist outside scientific evidence. No miracles have been proven in the common way people use the term 'prove.'


Human language fails. I believe and don't believe, there are different ways to interpret these phenomena.

I’m sure you didn’t watch the video on how true miracles are verified that I posted

God, heaven, hell, these things don't exist man they are the old wives tales of the desert people who dreamt them up, hilariously juvenile, anthropomorphic bullshit. Fairy tales to scare little kids with

Chill and enjoy the time you have left in this world, there is so little of it

Those things could be taken as representations of other things and could therefore be valuable in some respects, maybe LOL. Do you believe in good and evil? Ideas about good and evil are just brain chemicals man, old superstitions :D

Someone said a man's goal shouldn't be to chill and enjoy himself, he should be concerned with doing the right thing :D

I watched it just now. He says he doesn't study miracles per se. But as a counter I would say spontaneous inexplicable cures are observed in medicine fairly often. Doesn't mean there is no scientific, non-miraculous, non-divine explanation, just that it isn't immediately obvious.

Yeah it's great & so reassuring that 8 Billion people on this planet
all have a God looking down on them - Yet does Fuck all to help
the starving & innocent people being brutalised & tortured
That God must be of Great comfort & help to them.  ::)

Oh but he does do the odd miracle here & there.
Whoopee Do.

In all honesty if grown adults wish to believe in a sky wizard &
it helps them through their day to day life - good for them.
