The Nature of Faith

Nature of Faith

Nature of Faith

I have faith in my husband.  I have faith in my business. Faith. The whole of Christendom, all the religious structures, and the nature of Christianity are based on faith. And there they do not question, they do not have doubt, skepticism.  If you have faith in God then you cannot possibly allow any form of skepticism, or doubt to enter, or in the Islamic world. But in the Hindu world and in the Buddhist world doubt is one of the necessary qualities to cleanse the concepts regarding faith. We all have faith, and you never ever questioned your belief, your faith, or maybe you just accept them. When you have faith you have put aside any question of investigation. 

SUPPOSE I believe in God, and have faith in God, then my every doubt must be set aside because my belief in God is based on fear.  I don’t know what the world is, somebody has created it, and I like to think God has created it, that’s one kind of belief and my belief is just my imagination.

SCIENTIFICALLY there is no such thing as God, it is a natural growth of evolution from the cell into the very complex cells of the human brain.  So, why do we have faith?  Isn’t that very restricting, and limiting, and doesn’t faith divide people?  The Christians' belief and Islamic beliefs, and the Hindus presumably have no belief about anything by any stretch of the imagination, thus there is a steady struggle between them all. There is also another complex question involved in this why do we have ideals?  The whole communist world is based on the theoretical supposition. They are their gods.  And they believe in what they have said as Christians believe in what the Bible says, or something else.  You are all absorbing what the books say, but you never for yourself question the whole thing.  But you cannot raise questions, or doubt,  just because you are dependent  and rely on yourself, and therefore you are frightened. So, it is better to have faith/belief in illusory things or thoughts, something that doesn’t exist in reality.  But if you know for yourself, I have to understand my own life, I have to see if it is possible to bring about a great revolution in my life, then you start from there. if you have firm faith in something, you are living in an extraordinarily illusory world. 

Give Up On God

Give up on God

GIVING UP ON GOD is a personal decision that can be motivated by a variety of reasons. Some people may lose faith in a higher power due to a traumatic event or a crisis of belief, while others may have never believed in God to begin with. Regardless of the reason, giving up on God can be a difficult and painful process, but it can also lead to a sense of liberation and empowerment.

FOR MANY PEOPLE, the concept of God serves as a source of comfort and guidance in times of hardship. However, for some, the belief in God can be a source of conflict and confusion. Some people may find themselves questioning the existence of God and the belief systems that have been instilled in them from a young age. This can be especially true for those who have experienced a traumatic event or are facing a crisis of belief.

THE PROCESS OF GIVING UP ON GOD can be a difficult one, as it may involve confronting feelings of guilt, shame, and uncertainty. It's important to remember that there's no right or wrong way to deal with these feelings, and that everyone's journey is unique. It can be helpful to talk to someone you trust, such as a therapist, friend, or family member, about your feelings and thoughts. Joining a support group or reading books on the subject may also help you to process your feelings and come to terms with your decision. It's also worth remembering that giving up on God does not mean giving up on spirituality. For some, spirituality can be found in nature, in relationships with other people, or in personal beliefs and values. Finding a sense of connection to something greater than oneself can be a powerful and meaningful experience, regardless of whether or not one believes in God.

Ultimately, giving up on God is a personal decision that can be difficult and painful, but it can also lead to a sense of liberation and empowerment. It's important to remember that there is no right or wrong way to deal with this process and to give yourself the time and space to come to terms with your beliefs and feelings.

Another important aspect to consider when giving up on God is the impact it may have on your relationships with others. For many people, religious beliefs are closely tied to their sense of community and identity, and giving up on God may lead to conflicts or misunderstandings with family, friends, or other members of their religious community.

IT'S IMPORTANT to remember that everyone has the right to their own beliefs and that it's possible to have healthy and loving relationships with people who have different beliefs. However, it may take time and open communication to navigate these changes and find a new sense of understanding and acceptance.

ANOTHER THING TO CONSIDER is that giving up on God doesn't necessarily mean giving up on all aspects of religion. Many people find value in the cultural, social, or historical aspects of religion and may continue to participate in religious traditions or practices even if they no longer believe in God. 

ON THE OTHER HAND, for some, giving up on God may lead to a desire to explore new forms of spirituality. There are many different spiritual practices, such as mindfulness, meditation, or yoga, that can help to create a sense of connection and meaning. Finding a spiritual practice that resonates with you can be a powerful way to connect with yourself and the world around you. ADDITIONALLY, giving up on God can also lead to personal growth, self-discovery, and self-empowerment. For many, the process of questioning and letting go of long-held beliefs can be a transformative experience, leading to a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.

IT'S IMPORTANT to remember that the process of giving up on God is different for everyone, and that it's possible to find a sense of meaning and purpose in life without God. Taking the time to explore your beliefs and feelings, and being open to new ways of thinking and understanding can be a powerful way to find a sense of empowerment and liberation.
