What religion has claimed that faith is not involved?
[quote='Retorth']How can you be so sure that the information it contains is infallible when you cannot even prove the god that exists in that text in the first place?
The big question looms, and I answer it to the best of my ability - through faith I live it. I cannot require infallible proof for things - in order that those things can be used in my life. If I had that requirement then I would be forced to live with nothing.

I'm not sure how this analogy applies to my usage of the best answer I can find to the big question. It seems that you are self-blind-folded in life through your denial in regards to this hugely significant question.
Retorth Wrote:Ace and I answered your question regarding the meaning of life in our perspective already but you keep shunning it because it doesn't suit your religious persona.
It has nothing to do with my "religious persona" and everything to do with your failure to address the big question.
Retorth Wrote:You keep asking the same question over and over again seemingly in hopes that we would go "Aw crap you're right, life really means nothing without a supernatural being to spy on us constantly" but that will never happen. Face it, god doesn't exist. Pray for hours, months, or days but you will still have to walk to the kitchen to get a drink. You still have to work hard to earn a living. You still have to walk to the bathroom to take a poop. No amount of being holy changes anything in life.
Yes, because you fail to answer it every time, and it is an essential question. Face it, you don't have a clue as to what your talking about...(i.e. prove that God doesn't exist). I don't pray to make my life more convenient, in fact...because I pray my life is less convenient. Because I care what's going on with myself and the world in relation to God. Being holy means working hardest for the best reasons - and that does change everything in one's life.

My success is positively/directly related to your righteousness, I guess.
