Faith
April 12, 2016 at 12:48 am
It is such a word of convolution.

When relying upon the word, does one resort to reality?

Or rather, does one rely upon the word in deference to a religious system that has never provided a shred of evidence during its entire history of existence?

I certainly know I prefer the reality over the emotional blackmail.

Faith.

I have faith that those also claiming to have it will discount everything here for the sake of comfort.

Faith is nothing special, yet it affects too many people in the wrong way.

I have faith, that one day people will no longer be plagued by faith.
