A Godless Concept

  • If I define faith in the context of religious or spiritual belief, my question then falls to having non-spiritual faith or a life without God.  In my 50 years of searching for answers, doubting, questioning, and discovering, I have come to the realization that something else must be out there.  Whether we call it a creative force, energy, particle, a supreme being, Allah, or God, is immaterial to the fact that something is out there.  What it is, I suppose, depends on your own desire for interpretation.  Why it is might be the more important inquiry and, again, I suppose it depends on your own desire for interpretation.  I no longer have such a desire.  It is what it is and, for me, what and why it is, is enough.  People, who visit the abyss at the Cusp of Forever might ask, "Why do you worry and argue over that for which there is no evidence?"

     

    How do you define faith?  Is it personal, or do you buy into some congregational “group think” on the subject?  Does it concern God, or is it centered in the faith you have in yourself?  I’ve thrown a few thoughts of my own out in the wind for you to consider and, if you like, provide constructive comment for others to chew on.  Please follow the attached link: A Godless Concept
