Life is a mere rain came down to soak plants for a tiny period, one that is followed by an autumn; it only matters for the heart to flash well enough to see that.
It always amuses me how faith is seen as the righteous path, as a virtue, as something to be desired....
Faith is pretending to know.
Thank you, but I'd rather not pretend. I want to know. Really know.
Thus far, given the accumulated human knowledge, nobody knows anything about any god... all pseudo-knowledge about the gods comes from faith...
Hardly a trustworthy source of information...
So, thank you, but no thank you...
Faith is not a virtue, it's a mechanism of self-delusion.
A self-delusion that must be justified, somehow... so, how better than to make it a virtue?
