It is even possible to have real Faith...without a proper reason?

There is a difference between a psychotic mans belief and a reasonable mans Faith.

The variety and distortion of beliefs in this world is seemingly limitless. People choose to believe and are convinced of all sorts of bogus and demonstrably false things. How do we distinguish between the reasonable and the false? I promise you that 'your feelings' are not sufficient measuring tools.

I ask this both to the believer and non-believer. Why do you believe what you believe? Are there good reasons? How sure are you that your beliefs are not absurd, contradictory or incoherent?

Again, it is even possible to have real Faith...without proper understanding of the reason? If you claim to know God and love him...then your reasons are at the very least that he has changed your life in a way that is impossible for you to have done yourself. If not. If there is no hint of a majestic, divine and miraculous change...could he not just a product of your imagination?

I believe God exist, and I believe God intends to CHANGE people into becoming who he made them to be. I believe he wants to perform miracles in our lives. I believe he wants to change other people lives through our hands.

If you don't know why you believe in God. I guess I just want you to sit with Him...and think about it. Because it IS something that demands to be shared. And can hardly be anything but the Focal point of all meaning and life.

If he is real to you. And if you are convinced.
