I thought up all the answers to your questions in this thread by myself and I must say, I've discovered how much I really know.
Now thanks to debating with you guys and asking myself questions I didn't know the answers to, my faith is stronger than ever
Oh I didn't realise Jenny A replied.
But now you've come to the most interesting part of all - is faith a valid and reliable way to know things?
Do you think you have actual knowledge of Jesus doing miracles or are you pretending to know things you don't actually know? And why would that be a valid way of seeing the world?
Also, just a thought I had; (NOTHING religious). Apart from what I already wrote, I think faith could be beneficial for personal reassurance and comfort.
For example, I have faith that I will make it till tomorrow. I have no proof or can say for sure that I'm NOT going to die before tomorrow, but I have faith that I'll still be alive when I wake up tomorrow.
On the other hand, if I didn't have faith, I'd be depressed. If I didn't have faith I'm going to be alive tomorrow, I can't imagine what that'll feel like.
So faith in god isn't the only thing in which faith isn't included.
Note- I wasn't writing about religion at all, just psychology
