Can someone give me a story or explanation of what is faith like?

I never had any, but those who do seem to get great comfort form it, despite obvious flaws in their logic. I guess that's what it's about. Choosing to be comfortable when you probably shouldn't be.

When asked to describe my thoughts on GOD and Religion my train of thought led me right to gravity. . .

You can’t see gravity, You can’t taste it, I just know one thing for certain, that it exists.

The mystery's of faith an GOD are beyond human comprehension

Faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence.

I feel bad that if someone does not have faith they would want others to agree with them!

How can the universe create itself out of nothingness? Given the fact that the universe began to exist, it must have had a “cause” that originated it.Doesn't it make more sense to assume the existence of a Creation. The question is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that GOD came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, GOD is not in the category of things that are created or caused. GOD is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists.

We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence. That ever-existing being is what we call GOD ,GOD is the un-caused Being that caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.

The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning, GOD unlike the universe, had no beginning, so he doesn’t need a cause. Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. Since GOD is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created..@

Life without GOD is like an un- sharpened pencil it has no point..

You can't see the wind, but you know it is there because you can see what the wind is doing. You can know that the wind is there because you can feel it.GOD is like the wind, you can't see him

I touch on this subject once in a while and if you can forgive me, I will simply copy and paste the best answer I have ever received concerning faith~~the answer came from a beloved friend.

"After one realizes the dangers of the Hall of Learning along with what all those manuscripts, terms, concepts, etc. are pointing toward, then one finds that faith is simply belief in the higher Self, or pure infinite consciousness. The highest worship is to view all beings and yourself as pure infinite consciousness. This negates judgment.

Another way of looking at this is to picture yourself and others as candles. Pure infinite consciousness, the real you or them, is the flame. The wax and the wick are simply a means of realizing that the flame is the real you. When the wax and the wick (memory, subtle impressions of the past, conditioning) are realized to be an illusion and that the flame is fuel-less, this is true enlightenment. Faith is the belief in and the perfection of this knowledge which is the foundation of Gnosticism... Know Thyself.

If ignorance persists, the candle burns out and another birth is obtained."

Faith is simply trusting for what we hope and then acting on it.

We all do this everyday.

A good example is going out to eat.

It starts with the hope of getting a good meal.

Then we trust the kitchen.

Then we eat what they bring out.

We can do research to see what the restaurant says about its food.

We can talk to others who have eaten there.

But the only way to gain personal experience and our own proof is to go.

Trust and act= faith.

God works the same way:)

Faith is the excuse people give for believing something that they have no evidence or logical reason to believe. Notice how people never have to appeal to faith to demonstrate that water or the moon exists?

Faith is always based on evidence, never based on ignorance.

Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you cannot see.

Faith is like dialing your friend's number and having him answer the phone. I hope this helps.
