Three months ago, my partner asked me if I had faith in the air we breath.
Of course my answer was no, because it is obviously and irrefutably there.
You could guess what that person asked next!
Next question was: "So why do you have faith in God?"
Thinking about that question for several weeks now, and I'm having a strange feeling.
Am I overthinking because I can't think of a strong answer? What am I missing?
That strange feeling has a name: cognitive dissonance.
Also, you do realize you're asking a den of heathens for advice regarding a spiritual matter, right? While this may be the religion section, the bulk of us are atheist. Given that we don't believe in gods (and typically the things associated with them, like the notion of a spiritual self, angels, devils, divine anything, etc.) you can probably anticipate our answers, which may not be what you're looking for if you want to keep your faith.
