    I guess it depends on what you're trying to put your faith into.

    I mean, if it's love, for example.......once bitten twice shy. So, yeah, it would be hard to put that kind of faith into loving anyone again. ( so, easy to escape )

    If you're referring to faith in God, I would have to say yes, it would be extremely hard to escape faith in Him. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I've had too many personal experiences to ever think anything differently.

    Maybe that's what it takes for some people....to have a personal experience, to make them a " believer ". ~~~~:)

    I guess it would depend on the individual.

    I think faith is relative to the issue at hand.

    A lot of people don't have faith in God due to experiences they've had in life. That's not really complicated because they've learned to not place their faith in God because it seems like He has always let them down.

    A lot of people don't have faith in themselves due to how they were brought up, who they've met, what they've done, how high their education level is, ect... Is this complicated? No because they've been brought up in such a way that faith in themselves is almost absurd.

    Faith is difficult to escape when you're surrounded by it. Like if all your family members believe in God or idols or whatever, it's kind of hard to escape that because you're so close to it. And let's say that you have been in an amazing relationship with someone who treats you good and loves you almost unconditionally. It's hard to escape faith or love in your partner.

    It's subjective to circumstance.

    I guess it's only hard if you once had faith and you keep getting let down.... To feel so close but then get torn away. It makes it complicated.

    I don't know if anything i wrote made sense but that's what i think.

    Source(s): "Prayer is asking for rain; faith is carrying the umbrella." After thinking a little more about your question, i have a more concrete answer... It is complicated to escape faith because everyone needs something to lean against, something that makes them feel safe and secure. Faith provides security. Without it, you feel hopeless. It doesn't matter what you have faith in as long as it's something true and real to you. It's just a foundation for one's self. Something that makes them feel better. Having faith makes one feel human and sincere and... it gives life meaning.

    Faith is simply childish thinking that never goes away. There is cause and effect in everything. Wishing and hoping (which is all faith really is) never changes that. As soon as you recognize this fact, you can abandon faith based thinking and rely on principles, motivation and knowledge to achieve the things you want in life.

    As long as it doesn't impede your progress in life, if having faith in things makes you feel better, than go ahead. You might psych yourself into believing you can do things you wouldn't normally do, although you certainly would be able to if you really wanted to.

    Most things concerning faith are complicated, requires a lot of soul searching thought for sure.

    It is impossible.

    Love never fails. Prophecies will cease, tongues will be silent, knowledge will pass away. Our knowledge is imperfect and our prophesying is imperfect. When the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. There are in the end three things that last: faith, hope, and love --- and the greatest of these is love.

  • From an old poem I wrote had a verse that went...

    Faith without hope;

    tear in the sea

    Lost between reason...

    Insanity!

    I hope this explains where faith hides a little better!

    I'm not sure. You can do anything if you try hard enough, but why would you want to? Faith is a wonderful quality to have.

    Well to quote George Michael --- "You gotta have faith"

    Sorry feeling a little silly.
