One thing I realized today is that when it comes to faith, God and religion, proof or evidence will NEVER be found. I say this because if you prove something in religion, you can’t, by definition, have faith in that which you have found. Why is that you ask? It is because of what the Bible defines as faith. In the Epistle to the Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” What does that mean? It simply means that faith deals with hope based on things that are not evident. The moment evidence of a thing is presented; this has gone beyond the realm of what faith is. What brought me to this realization is a discussion I had with a good brother. He sent me different articles in which Christian scientists and believers use science to confirm the Bible and disprove the scientific findings that rebut biblical claims. My point was this; if you go out to prove anything in the Bible or the existence of God, that is a lack of faith because with you need no proof! Searching for answer is really a lack of faith. This is why it is hard to convince a real Christian or believer in God and religion because a true Christian or believer in God and religion has no care about facts, proof and confirmation. They believe what they believe regardless of what is presented to them. And this very fact is why religion breeds ignorance. Faith by definition causes one to ignore the obvious. Faith is why fools strap bombs to their chest and blow up innocent people. They BELIEVE that there actions are righteous and they will be rewarded for murdering people. If you are a believer like they are, even if you believe in something totally different, how can you say they are wrong? My point is that if they have faith, which means they believe something without confirmation, how can you say they are wrong for believing in whatever they believe in? To say they are wrong you would have to PROVE them wrong. Proof is outside of the realm of faith!! No person of one faith can say another faith is wrong because they are both based on believing something that has no evidence it is true or not!!!
