Thread Name: BS: Faith
Subject: RE: BS: Faith
Where science ends, faith begins.

Faith accompanies many of our actions.

I have faith that if I am kind to my cranky, old mother, my children will be kind to me when I am old.

I have faith when I believe in others.

I have faith in my ability to shape my own destiny.

I have faith that my ancestors, who have walked this earth before me, will guide me. Science is beginning to prove this (DNA). Once proven, faith in this will no longer be necessary.

Faith is what we need to believe when there is no empirical evidence to support it.

Faith is personal. It is not dogma. It is not brainwashing. It is not indoctrination. It is what we need to sustain us when there is no reason to believe.
