Hey, c'mon John.. I didn't mean to offend you. I must admit, I prefer "some people" to "they." I never quite know how to respond to claims about groups of people. I had really hoped that this thread would give a positive chance for people to talk about their beliefs, and that's what it's been. I'd really be interested in hearing more about what YOU believe. I are a Christian too, and I welcome posts from everyone, whatever their belief. If people don't want to use the word "faith," for their convictions about how this whole crazy world works, that's allright with me. The posting on here have made me think, which isn't all bad. I too am struggling to figure out what the difference is between faith and belief, and in trying to understand it, and express it better, I trip all over myself. I find myself saying I believe in God, which is true and at the same time I have faith in God. Some things I believe in, but don't have any faith in.

It gets confusing. That's why I welcome everyone's conversation about their faith.
