I dont care what your faith is as long as you dont push it on me.

Ignore what others say and search for the faith where believers actually practice the word; love.

Having faith in your beliefs is faith in and of itself. It isnt faith if you have to have others approval, that is called permission.

Really? [looks around]

I thought this was a very good cross-section of the community-at-large. laugh laugh

You have your usual depressives, alcoholics, abusers, druggies, whiners, moaners, whingers, believers, non-believers, knockers, knickers, kickers ... and that is just in this section ... Im afraid to go into the sex section ... :tongue:

There is no such thing as the right faith.

There is only the faith that is right for you.

If that is christianity, Islam, judaism, buddhism or even good old-fashioned lack-of-faith, then you just do it.

Just dont do it anywhere near me :wink:

since faith is a personal thing why would anyone attack it if you didn't make it public

Some people like to just share their experiences is all.

Others like to debate...and some... like to argue.

It's part of the mix... just go with the ones you enjoy & bypass those you don't.

:smile: Hope this helps.

Main Entry: 1faith
Pronunciation: \ˈfāth\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural faiths \ˈfāths, sometimes ˈfāthz\
Etymology: Middle English feith, from Anglo-French feid, fei, from Latin fides; akin to Latin fidere to trust — more at bide
Date: 13th century
1 a: allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1): fidelity to one's promises (2): sincerity of intentions
2 a (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 <the Protestant faith



I presume your talking of faith in a god or belief system of some sort, correct me if I'm wrong please.

If so, then of the above are you asking - if there is - a firm belief in something for which there is no proof? Or - a belief and trust in your loyalty to some other-world being such as the monotheistic god?

if the first, i would tell you as i have done to not seek outwardly but within yourself for those answers, and when you've found them hold them tightly to your heart, and do not share them outwardly with others, or they will loose their value you hold of them. Shared faiths cause discontent and can bring about all kinds of bad energy unnecessarily so.Find that which gives you peace and love and contentment, and all will be well with you, no matter what that is.

That's it right there. People don't typical attack other's for their faith. What they will do however is speak out against accusations that they are rejecting God if they don't agree with the faith of another.

As long as you don't tell anyone that they are rejecting God for not agreeing with your faith, you should be fairly safe.

Unless, of course, you feel that you are being attacked by those people who go around telling everyone that they are rejecting God if they don't worship a particular doctrine. :wink:

Faith does not have to be a religious one . You can choose your own faith based on reason , logic , experience ,education , your mind and the world around you .

if you start out with a thread like this what do you expect
Why is it so hard to find good looking woman for older men who keep in shape and look good?

If you are talking to me, then, no, I am most definitely not mad at anyone.

But, it stands to reason that there are a very wide selection of people on this site.

Plus, it was actually meant as a small tongue in cheek comment.

Cast enough and sure some will fall on stoney ground

The word "faith: and "religion" seem to have been used as the same thing in this thread.

Faith and religion are not the same thing.

While I would never attack someone's faith, I might object to and appose a religious doctrine that insists that it is right and tries to enforce adherence to its laws with the excuse that "god's law" is higher than any other law, when they really mean that their religion's laws are higher than the laws of a society.

"God's laws" are for everyone and they are not owned by anyone or any religion. They are the laws of attraction and the law of cause and effect in this world.

Back to the O.P.'s question:
"How can one find the right faith when so many people attack anything that is not in there sight the norm?"

If you mean to ask how can one find the truth or something to believe in, I would suggest that you just be open minded and objective. You can have faith without having religion.
