Isn't Faith really meant for the lazy people?

personally i think faith is for people who are scared to die

I'm sure that whatever Government Agency it is that stops aeroplanes dropping out of the sky, or makes sure that you don't get too much ground glass and rat droppings in your bread is doing a wonderful job, with you looking over their shoulders.

You must be an incredibly devoted and dedicated individual.

I can see no other way that the administration of your Country could possibly operate, to your satisfaction, given that you don't practice a certain amount of faith.

It's an almost convincing argument that you've posted, but logically, rationally, it has more holes than a Swiss cheese.

It's not just those who practice Faith, that practice faith.

If your argument was indeed convincing, it would only be because the metaphorical fat man was too lazy to read it.

You're in luck; R&S is full of them.

No because not all faiths put such a focus on faith. Your talking about abrahamic faiths, they are just a sect of the religions out there. My religion requires that I study extensively. In my religion *I* am the one who has to figure out what it is I beleive to be truth. I have no holy text or leader that I am required to follow. In my religion I have to be responsible for my actions in the here and now, not at judgment day.

God does not want us to have just 'blind faith'. He wants us to ask questions. That's why we have free will--to make our own decisions and to decide to follow Him because we love Him. Not because He makes us. He wants us to come to Him on our own. Faith is a gift, however, and not everyone has it.

There are many intelligent people out there who believe in God and are far from lazy. And nobody does the thinking for me. Nor am I fat. Or a man for that matter.

Just because we have faith doesn't mean we accept everything, bible tells us to test things to see if they are of god, like preachers for example. Also faith requires you to move like it's already happened. So let's say you need a job, to have faith means you go out there and look for one, knowing that God will help you get a job. It's not a case of just sitting there and saying "i have faith," because faith without works is dead.

I hope i answered it good enough for you.

I'm so sick of atheists complaining about how Christians are too pushy and then you post stuff like this trying to convince us that we are wrong. Church-going people have something to live for, something to believe in, and are happy. You are pessimistic and can only see the bad side of things because you don't want to trust. You are afraid to surrender yourself and have FAITH.

Christianity, and other religions, promote charity, promote voluneering, and promote community service, so if you have something against the betterment of society and a joyful lifestyle, go find someone who shares your beliefs and talk to them. But get off the internet.

faith is to have faith in something inspite of there being no data that what you have faith is authentic (or perhaps data against it being authentic). i could additionally % to show out the version between faith and have faith with the aid of fact so often apologists of religion will say genuinely everyone has faith. faith I even have already defined. have faith is distinctive with the aid of fact with have faith you have faith in something in accordance with expectation and a sturdy assumption that what you have faith is authentic. occasion: i will have faith the pilot is sober and is familiar with what he's doing with the aid of fact they are rather experienced and it relatively is in his very own pastime to be certain the plane would not crash. i will have faith that the has being maintained with the aid of fact the airlines won't earnings in any way from a crashed plane, a lawsuit, undesirable attractiveness and many ineffective people. i will have faith the airline won't hire shitty pilots. have faith is earned and in accordance with knowledgeable guesses. faith is in accordance with gullibility and lack of expertise. people in straightforward terms have faith in issues with the aid of fact they % it to be authentic. they % it to be authentic even inspite of the undeniable fact that there is no data. all those people do not care approximately whats actual yet what feels positive to have faith. that's a contemptible theory.

Faith, or belief, is often misunderstood. Faith has been defined as "believing in spite of there being nothing to believe" or "believing in spite of the evidence to the contrary." It is often viewed as identical with wishful thinking. If we believe hard enough, we can make something come true (regardless of whether or not God may approve).

None of these concepts is biblical. Faith is belief based on sufficient evidence. In other words, faith is trusting what God has revealed in His Word and in the world, both of which give ample testimony to the truth.

Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man—state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion. Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

Let's say you have to have surgery. You've never seen the tumor, but you believe the doctor and agree to the procedure.

That is having faith in the doctor. That he knows what he is doing and that he will get all of the tumor and that you will recover.

Lazy patient.

Like people who won't actually investigate a real religion but go on and on about some made-up, straw man religion that they can look down upon?

Like people who steal all their lines from Richard Dawkins but don't seem to understand what religions are actually saying?

Like people who will not seriously consider the proofs and evidences of God but satisfy themselves with smug and self-satisfied insults borrowed from strident and out-dated self-styled saviors, masking in scientific garb.
