Faith

What is faith, when you picture it? It is a man who comes home to his wife, without infidelity and they sit and talk about their day?

Is it a bearded man in the sky? on a cloud?

People say, "Why would you put faith in something you've never seen?" or "Why believe god is there when he isn't." "Faith is pointless the world is shit" ETC ETC.

The thing about faith, and why it is so perfect.:

It needs no base, it needs no person, it needs no reason. Faith in its own simplicity is baseless and groundless. Faith is why we get up, somewhere in our depths of our soul we have faith in something. Most of us it is family or a spouse.

As of April, I am no longer declaring myself an atheist or a person who doesn't care. I lost track, I grew up with the internet. For whatever reason the internet really hates the idea of faith in religion.

But, that's the thing. If you do not have faith, you do not believe in yourself. I've never seen God, the world is shit wall-to-wall.

Baseless faith is not looking for answers, you can't. You look for answers and you will only confuse yourself further. Somethings are ironic, stupid, unbelievable, inconceivable; but, really if shit like that did not happen why have faith.

Most people who incorporate faith and religion are said to be clueless. Clueless from what? Using faith as a way to deal with life?

Faith is sheer brilliance as a concept. It is a coping strategy that is unlike any other. Reorganizing your life according to faith is a little far fetched and where the lines blur.

A person who believes and has faith is not an idiot. They aren't ignorant. Most of them don't ignore the idea that there might be no one up there.





For some people, Faith is all they have.
The only thing that gets them through the day.
Faith is big, faith is small.
Faith is dumbfounded at most times




This blogpost was not to write about bashing atheism, or bashing religion.
This blog post is to explain the important role faith plays.
I have faith in those around me, those who have passed.
Those who get out of bed in the morning to feed their kids and family
Those people are what I have faith in. They don't give up, they may want to. But, they are just as lost as the rest of us.

Before you go be an asshat about atheism or religion. Just remember faith is a separate entity. Faith is unique.
Their day may be shit, but they have faith in something.
